Democrats file five impeachment articles against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over Iran strikes and misconduct

House Democrats have introduced five impeachment articles against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, accusing him of authorizing or overseeing Iran strikes, violations of the laws of armed conflict resulting in civilian harm, mishandling sensitive information in the Signalgate incident, obstructing Congressional oversight, and conduct that damages the Pentagon’s reputation. The measure is unlikely to pass this Congress but signals Democrats’ focus on Hegseth as a top target in Trump-era governance.
