Massie moves to impeach Pete Hegseth over Iran War

Massie filed a privileged resolution containing eight articles of impeachment against Hegseth, forcing a floor vote in the House. The resolution accuses Hegseth of carrying out orders to continue operations in Iran despite Congress' constitutional authority over war and votes seeking to end the conflict. The move drew a Pentagon rebuttal, with press secretary Kingsley Wilson calling Hegseth a transformative leader with the department unified behind him, while Massie's action came after he lost a primary to Ed Gallrein 55% to 45%, according to Kentucky's report on the vote.
