Trump ally Pete Hegseth faces impeachment push over Iran war
Briefing by News4U · First published
SBS News reports that Republican congressman Thomas Massie is preparing to introduce eight articles of impeachment against US defence secretary Pete Hegseth as early as this week, alleging he committed US forces to hostilities without a formal declaration of war and continued military action in contravention of Congress resolutions. Democrats have thrown their support behind the push, with Hakeem Jeffries saying he was a hard yes for impeachment. Trump has defended Hegseth, calling the move very unfair, while some Republicans blame him for the unpopular war in Iran. [1]
