A Republican lawmaker has launched an impeachment effort against US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth over the war with Iran. Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie introduced 8 articles of impeachment, accusing Hegseth of waging war without congressional approval and abusing his powers. The charges also refer to alleged misconduct involving civilian casualties and US military operations in Yemen and Venezuela. The Republican-controlled House could vote on the resolution as early as Wednesday. Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries has backed the move, while President Donald Trump has defended Hegseth. Even if impeached, Hegseth would need Senate conviction to be removed from office. (PC: India Today)
