Democrats move to impeach Hegseth

The impeachment push centers on Hegseth's handling of the U.S. military operation in Iran and his recent dismissal of Army Chief of Staff General Randy George.

Democratic lawmakers allege that Hegseth has demonstrated a 'willful disregard' for the Constitution and has engaged in reckless management of classified information.

While the effort is largely seen as symbolic given the current political makeup of Congress, it underscores the deep partisan divide over the administration's foreign policy.

Hegseth is scheduled to meet with top lawmakers next week to defend the Pentagon's proposed $1.5 trillion budget.
