Key Points
- Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., introduced articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, triggering a vote in the House of Representatives as early as this week.
- The articles include waging war in contravention of war powers resolutions passed by Congress, extrajudicial killings tied to boat strikes in the Caribbean that purported to target drug smugglers and suppressing free speech by targeting Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., a military veteran.
- Hegseth put out a video last week defending his actions atop the Pentagon, and the department has led a media campaign to “Stand. Fight. Defend the Republic.”
