House Republicans eye impeachment of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

House Republicans are reportedly preparing to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth following a significant midterm election defeat. Representative Thomas Massie plans to force a vote on impeachment, citing alleged defiance of Congress and illegal continuation of the war in Iran. While some Republicans are considering impeachment due to anger over election losses, others, including former President Trump, have defended Hegseth, who has called the impeachment effort a "sham."
