Democrats in Congress are bringing articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth over a slew of scandals that have all but engulfed his tenure as defense secretary.

A seven-page resolution, https://www.axios.com/2026/04/15/iran-war-pete-hegseth-congress-impeachment-articles-democrats-reflecting-search-interest-order" rel="">first obtained by Axios, lays out no less than five articles against the Pentagon chief relating to everything from alleged war crimes and abuse of power to the legality of U.S. strikes against Iran and the Signalgate scandal.

The outlet notes that while the measures have “virtually no chance of passing” in the Republican-controlled House, it shows “Democrats have coalesced around Hegseth as their new top target” following the shock ouster of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Attorney General Pam Bondi over the past few weeks.
