US lawmakers to impeach Defense Secretary Hegseth over Iran war role

US lawmakers are reportedly planning to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as early as next week. Representative Thomas Massie is expected to introduce impeachment articles against Hegseth, citing his role in the Iran war and the subsequent Republican losses in Congress. The move comes amid increased political pressure following the midterms, where Democrats gained control of both chambers. This development has intensified scrutiny on Hegseth’s position, despite President Donald Trump’s continued support for him. Watch for Representative Massie’s formal introduction of impeachment articles, which could further impact market pricing. Developments in the House, particularly any movements by the House Judiciary Committee or Democratic leadership, will be crucial indicators of the proceedings’ trajectory.
