US lawmaker Thomas Massie to launch impeachment effort against Pete Hegseth

US Representative Thomas Massie, a Republican, is preparing to introduce an impeachment measure against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as early as Monday. The move comes approximately one week after the conclusion of the conflict with Iran, a war supported by Hegseth that contributed to midterm election losses for President Donald Trump's Republican Party.

Massie's initiative reflects rising tensions within Congress following the end of the military campaign. Hegseth has faced increasing criticism from lawmakers regarding the prosecution of the war and its broader strategic and political consequences. The planned resolution highlights emerging fractures within the Republican caucus as members assess the fallout from the recent electoral defeat.
