Republican Rep. Massie moves to impeach Defense Secretary Hegseth over Iran warhttps://www.npr.org/2026/09/15/g-s1-143407/massie-impeach-hegseth-iranRepublican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky moved Tuesday to impeach Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth over the war in Iran.
Congressman Massie, a long-time critic of the Trump administration, read the articles of impeachment aloud from the House floor just after the chamber convened at noon. Massie alleges that Hegseth has waged the Iran war illegally, among other "high crimes and misdemeanors."
Massie alleges that Hegseth initiated the conflict unlawfully, defied Congress' order to withdraw from the conflict and incurred unnecessary civilian casualties.
Someone isn't handling being ballot-box retired into irrelevance very well.
