Massie files impeachment resolution against Hegseth over Iran war
–
Neutral summary
Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky introduced a privileged resolution to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, accusing him of abusing his office by carrying out military hostilities against Iran without congressional approval. The move forces a House vote, though passage is considered unlikely in the GOP-controlled chamber. Massie, who lost a primary this year to a Trump-backed challenger, said he kept the resolution secret from Republican leaders to avoid “showing his hand.” The House has previously passed war powers resolutions in June and July directing the president to end U.S. hostilities with Tehran.
