> Republican Representative Thomas Massie introduced a resolution to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, alleging unlawful actions related to the Iran war, strikes on purported drug boats and other matters. Hegseth said he welcomed defending his actions in Congress. The measure is unlikely to pass in the current Republican-led Congress, though Democrats are expected to increase pressure after taking control in January.
