Hegseth Faces Impeachment Articles
The impeachment resolution, led by key House Democrats, argues that Hegseth has repeatedly bypassed the legislative branch in his execution of the war.
Scrutiny of the Defense Secretary has mounted as the conflict enters its seventh week and the humanitarian toll continues to rise.
While the Republican-controlled House makes the passage of these articles unlikely, the move signals a deepening divide over the administration's war powers.
Hegseth is scheduled to brief reporters at the Pentagon on Thursday, where he is expected to defend the legality of the military's actions.
