Pete Hegseff

House Democrats have filed six articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, accusing him of launching an unauthorized war against Iran without congressional approval while U.S. troops remain in harm’s way.

• Rep. Yassamin Ansari leads impeachment effort citing unauthorized Iran strikes, war crimes, and security breaches
• Six articles charge Hegseth with bombing a girls’ school in Minab, Iran, and mishandling classified information in “Signalgate” incident
• Pentagon dismisses charges as partisan “charade,” claiming military operations successfully fulfilled Trump’s objectives
• Impeachment unlikely to advance in Republican-controlled Congress but signals Democratic strategy to challenge Trump administration
