❗️US Representative Thomas Massie introduces eight articles of impeachment against War Secretary Pete Hegseth US Representative Thomas Massie introduced a privileged resolution on the House floor on Monday to impeach US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, leveling eight formal articles charging him with high crimes and misdemeanors over unauthorized war operations in West Asia and Latin America. Reading from the resolution text, Massie accused Hegseth of violating the US Constitution and the War Powers Resolution of 1973 by conducting prolonged, unauthorized military operations against Iran and Yemen without congressional approval or statutory authorization. The charges also cite Hegseth for defying congressional directives to cease hostilities, bypassing legal frameworks within the Department of War, and gutting civilian casualty mitigation protocols. The resolution further details severe extrajudicial actions, including overseeing lethal strike guidelines in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific that resulted in summary executions of at least 221 individuals on suspected drug vessels, ordering the kidnapping of former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro without authorization, and suppressing free speech through administrative retaliation against US lawmakers who questioned the legality of military orders.
