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