House to vote on Hegseth impeachment move

House to vote on impeachment of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth amid bipartisan accusations and Republican divisions

The House is preparing to vote on whether to advance the impeachment of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The move is driven by Republican Rep. Thomas Massie, who has accused Hegseth of unlawful military actions in Iran and other regions.

Support and opposition

Massie’s resolution has gained support from House Democrats, despite Hegseth’s claims that the effort undermines American troops. President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance have publicly defended Hegseth.

The vote, expected to take place on Wednesday, could lead to a split among Republicans following their midterm election losses. The outcome of the vote will determine the next steps in the impeachment process.
