The House of Representatives is moving toward a vote this week on whether to impeach Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. Outgoing Republican Congressmember Thomas Massie of Kentucky introduced eight articles of impeachment against Hegseth on Monday. They include violating the 1973 War Powers Resolution by continuing to attack Iran after Congress ordered the Trump administration to stop, illegally waging war against Yemen, ignoring laws designed to reduce civilian casualties, overseeing “extrajudicial killings” by bombing the boats of alleged drug traffickers in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific, abducting President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela without congressional authorization, and suppressing the free speech rights of Democratic Senator Mark Kelly in retaliation for his participation in a video reminding troops not to obey illegal orders. If the House votes for impeachment, it will prompt a Senate trial that could end with removal from office. “Under Hegseth, the U.S. military has been hijacked,” says retired Air Force Master Sergeant Wes Bryant, who served as chief of civilian harm assessment at the Pentagon from 2024 to 2025. “America has portrayed itself to the world as a far-right dictatorship bent on global domination, and Hegseth and his wielding of the U.S. military with free rein from Donald Trump is really the primary enforcer of that.” Bryant adds that “Hegseth should be the first domino,” but that Trump, as well as “many of our senior military leaders,” should also be impeached.
