Democratic lawmakers have introduced a resolution to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, citing abuse of power and war crimes. The six articles of impeachment accuse Hegseth of violating his oath of office and constitutional duties. The allegations include launching hostilities against Iran without congressional approval and targeting civilians. The resolution is led by Rep. Yassamin Ansari and has eight Democratic co-sponsors.
