Republican Thomas Massie initiated impeachment proceedings against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who defended military actions against Iran. Hegseth criticized the impeachment as a political stunt, asserting it undermines national security. He emphasized that no previous defense secretary faced impeachment for controversial military operations. Hegseth described the military operation against Iran as a historic victory and supported President Trump's decisions for national safety. The impeachment articles were presented on November 9, 2026, triggering a two-day voting period in the House of Representatives.
