An anti-war Republican congressman introduced articles of impeachment on Sept. 15 against Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth over the Iran war, potentially causing a political headache for GOP leaders in Congress two months before the midterms.
Massie, a representative from Kentucky and noted political foe of President Donald Trump, launched the longshot effort to remove Hegseth with a speech on the House floor. He accused Hegseth, a former Fox News host, of betraying his oath of office and abusing his powers as a military leader.
Primarily, he accused Hegseth of violating the Constitution by continuing to oversee military operations in the Iran war without congressional approval.
