Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is rejecting impeachment articles introduced against him yesterday by outgoing Republican congressman Thomas Massie.
Massie reintroduced the articles of impeachment on the House floor yesterday. He accuses Hegseth of mishandling the war in Iran, but they also cover the U.S. military’s strikes on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean and the Eastern Pacific, as well as the military’s capture of Venezuela’s president, Nicolas Maduro and his wife in Caracas in January.
Hegseth says using impeachment as a tool to force him out is inappropriate. President Trump says he stands by Hegseth.
