House Democrats file articles of impeachment against Hegseth

The six articles accuse Hegseth of unauthorized war, civilian casualties and mishandling sensitive military information, and they face long odds in Congress.

  • On Wednesday, House Democrats introduced six articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, accusing him of abuse of power, war crimes, and other serious wrongdoing.
  • Led by Rep. Yassamin Ansari, D-Ariz., the resolution cites the "Signalgate" controversy, where Hegseth "demonstrated gross negligence in the handling of sensitive and classified military information" regarding Yemen operations.
  • Additional articles accuse Hegseth of bringing "disrepute" upon the United States, while Pentagon Press Secretary Kingsley Wilson dismissed the move as "just another Democrat trying to make headlines."
  • While the measure faces slim chances in the Republican-controlled Congress, it continues a pattern: Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Attorney General Pam Bondi were both impeached previously.
  • Impeachment serves as the first step for removal from office, and Democratic sponsors could renew these efforts if they take control of The House following the midterm elections.
