> Republican Congressman Thomas Massie has introduced eight impeachment articles accusing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth of waging unlawful wars against Iran and Venezuela, carrying out illegal orders and failing to protect civilians. A House vote could come by midweek. Democratic leaders say they will back the resolution, while Hegseth has responded defiantly and has President Donald Trump’s support.
