WASHINGTON – Representative Thomas Massie, a Republican representing Kentucky, has begun impeachment proceedings against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Massie alleges Hegseth engaged in the Iran conflict unlawfully, and cites other "high crimes and misdemeanors" in his impeachment motion.
Massie’s filing initiates a formal process within the House of Representatives. This action does not automatically lead to impeachment. It introduces a resolution that the House would need to consider and vote on. The term "high crimes and misdemeanors" refers to the constitutional standard for impeachment. This standard defines offenses for which federal officials may face removal from office.
