Pete Hegseth, targeted by an impeachment procedure, denounces a "political staging"

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth faces impeachment proceedings initiated by Congressman Thomas Massie, criticizing his handling of the war against Iran. Hegseth dismissed the move as a political stunt driven by resentment. The impeachment could lead to a Senate trial, requiring a two-thirds majority for removal. Massie accuses Hegseth of violating laws regarding military action without Congressional approval and ignoring civilian protection laws. The Democratic camp, led by Hakeem Jeffries, also calls for accountability, citing Hegseth's actions as detrimental to national security.
