> Republican Representative Thomas Massie introduced eight articles of impeachment against Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth on Monday, accusing him of waging war illegally without congressional authorization and abusing his authority as Pentagon chief. The move could set up a potentially explosive congressional vote, days after Donald Trump’s party suffered a crushing midterm defeat.
