FULL | Hegseth IMPEACHMENT articles read aloud on House floor by Republican Rep. Massie

Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., filed a privileged resolution containing eight articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Monday, setting up a potential House vote by Wednesday. Massie is scheduled to hold a news conference at 3:30 p.m. ET Monday. Under House rules, the chamber has two legislative days to take up the resolution. Members could vote on the articles or on a motion to table the measure. Massie began pushing for Hegseth’s impeachment in September, accusing him of “engaging in hostilities in Iran for more than 90 days without congressional authorization.” The measure was delayed when House leaders ended the chamber’s session before it could come up for a vote. Massie’s eight articles accuse Hegseth of waging the Iran war without congressional authorization and continuing it past War Powers deadlines. They also accuse him of failing to protect civilians, ordering unlawful strikes on suspected drug traffickers, retaliating against Sen. Mark Kelly over protected speech, directing the capture of Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro without legal authority and launching an unauthorized operation in Yemen. “My effort to impeach Secretary Hegseth is a much gentler version of what’s coming when the Democrats assume control of the House and Senate next year,” Massie said in a release.
