Story summary

As of November 10, 2026, Republican congressman Thomas Massie introduced eight articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, blaming him for alleged misconduct involving civilian casualties and operations in Yemen and Venezuela. This move comes days after Republicans suffered significant losses in the midterm elections partly due to voter backlash over President Donald Trump's war with Iran. Despite calls for his resignation, Trump has stood by Hegseth, stating he is doing "a very good job." In response to the impeachment threat, Hegseth is set to hold his first Pentagon briefing since May on November 10, focusing on defending himself against these politically motivated accusations.
