Kentucky Republican Representative Thomas Massie has launched an initiative to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, forcing the House of Representatives to vote on the matter later this week.
The legislative push seeks to remove Hegseth from his leadership position at the Department of Defense. Massie is utilizing House procedures to mandate that lawmakers address the impeachment effort directly on the chamber floor.
With the vote expected before the week concludes, the move creates an immediate congressional test for the Pentagon chief and highlights heightened scrutiny surrounding national security leadership.
