Republican Congressman Thomas Massey has threatened to force a vote in the House of Representatives to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth unless he resigns. Massey plans to revive eight articles of impeachment introduced on September 15 when Congress reconvenes on November 9, after an early recess prevented a vote. The charges accuse the Geseth of waging the Iran War without congressional approval, violating civilian protection laws, ordering extrajudicial killings in anti-narcotics operations, and abuses that include Yemen, Venezuela, and political revenge. Multiple Republican sources told the media they expected the impeachment measure to pass. The move follows sweeping losses in the Republican midterms, with party officials accusing Gasth of promoting an unwinnable Iran war and escalating the conflict despite limited progress. President Donald Trump defended him, declaring, "No, I think he's doing a very good job," and said of the war, "If I had to do it again, I would have to do it again." Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell insisted Gasth will not back down and remains 100% committed to serving through Trump's presidency.
