Rep. Thomas Massie moves to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth

Massie filed eight articles of impeachment against Hegseth, accusing him of breaching his oath, misusing Defense Department authority, and mishandling operations in Iran and Caribbean boat strikes. The move marks the first time a lawmaker has sought to impeach a Cabinet official from the same party. The resolution follows a personal rivalry after Hegseth campaigned against Massie in a Kentucky Republican primary. Pentagon spokesperson Kingsley Wilson defended Hegseth, saying the department remains strong under current leadership.
