Detailed Factual Report
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will hold a rare Pentagon news briefing Tuesday morning, as lawmakers are expected to vote on his impeachment this week.
The briefing, set for 8 a.m. ET, comes one day after Republican Rep. Thomas Massie introduced updated articles of impeachment against Hegseth. The resolution accuses Hegseth of abusing his office by launching the Iran war without congressional approval, ignoring laws designed to minimize civilian casualties and retaliating against Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly, among other allegations. Under House rules, the chamber has two legislative days to schedule a vote.
Massie, a Kentucky Republican, has criticized Hegseth for months. But his renewed impeachment push follows Republicans' sweeping defeats in the midterms, which members of both parties blamed on the Iran war and soaring energy prices. The war's status is unclear: President Trump said Monday he plans to maintain the "status quo" and doesn't believe escalating the war will be necessary.
House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries, who represents New York, said Monday afternoon he's a "hard yes" on the impeachment resolution, telling reporters Hegseth "abused his power" and is the "architect of the reckless and costly failed war of choice in Iran."
