GUARDIAN: Thomas Massey, the Republican representative of the US Congress, presented eight articles of impeachment and demanded a vote to impeach Pete Hegst, the defense secretary of the Trump administration.
Thomas Massey accused Guest of starting wars against Iran and Yemen without congressional approval, violating laws related to the protection of civilians, ordering attacks on boats suspected of drug trafficking and abusing his authority.
This plan faces the possible support of several Republicans and the strong support of Hakim Jeffries, the leader of the House Democrats, and according to regulations, it must be voted on by Wednesday at the latest.
The defeat of the Republicans in the midterm elections and the consequences of the Iran war also increased the pressure on Guest.
