Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky files resolution to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth

WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Thomas Massie moved Monday to force a vote to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, putting pressure on his fellow Republicans to decide whether to remove one of the Trump’s administration’s most prominent figures following sweeping election losses.

An impeachment resolution introduced by Massie, a Kentucky Republican, largely focuses on the war in Iran. It also includes references to Hegseth’s role in carrying out military actions in Yemen and Venezuela.

A vote in the House could come by mid-week.
