Massey, a Republican congressman, introduced an initiative to impeach the US defense secretary. US President Trump promised to support the head of the Pentagon. CNN, ABC News and the New York Times write about it.
Massey presented eight articles of impeachment against Gessett, three of which are related to the war in Iran. The US defense secretary is accused of waging war without congressional approval and continuing it after congress ordered Trump to end the conflict.
Other articles refer to the kidnapping of Venezuela's former president Maduro and redundancy. According to Massey, the actions of the head of the Pentagon constitute a threat to the American constitution. Hesset called the allegations a "political farce" and said he was not concerned.
