House will vote today on Pete Hegseth impeachment, Trump backs defense chief

Rep. Thomas Massie is forcing a vote on his impeachment resolution against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The House isn’t voting to impeach him today. Members will first decide whether the resolution goes to committee or gets killed. Massie’s eight articles accuse Hegseth of violating the Constitution and federal law, including conducting military operations in Iran without congressional authorization, the deadly strike on an Iranian girls’ school, attacks on suspected drug boats and the operation in Venezuela.

Hegseth called the impeachment effort a farce. Trump is backing him and has attacked Massie. The vote puts Republicans in an awkward spot. Democrats are expected to support the resolution, but Massie needs Republicans to cross the aisle. Even if it goes nowhere, Democrats take control of the House in January and have already signaled they plan to investigate Hegseth.
