## Summary

Rep. Thomas Massie, a Republican who lost his primary, introduced eight articles of impeachment against Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth. The move is unusual because it comes from a member of Hegseth’s own party, and it will require the Republican-led House to act on the resolution by the end of the week.

The articles accuse Hegseth of waging war against congressional limits, ordering extrajudicial killings in Caribbean boat strikes and suppressing free speech by targeting Senator Mark Kelly. Massie said Hegseth posed a threat to the Constitution and the rule of law. President Donald Trump said he would stand by Hegseth even if the House impeaches him, praising his leadership and military recruitment efforts.
