HEGSETH FACING IMPOUNDMENT

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth faces impeachment proceedings initiated in Congress by Republican Representative Thomas Massie. Hegseth accuses Hegseth of committing the United States to the war against Iran without congressional authorization, as well as alleged violations of international law during military operations. Supported by Democrats, the impeachment initiative must first be considered by the House of Representatives. A potential removal from office would then require a two-thirds majority in the Senate.
