Hegseth Faces Impeachment Push

Thirteen Democratic lawmakers, led by Representative Yassamin Ansari, filed six articles of impeachment that also cite Hegseth's reckless handling of classified information.

The move comes as the Trump administration faces increasing scrutiny over its multi-trillion dollar defense budget and the lack of a clear exit strategy for the Middle East conflict.

While Republicans have largely dismissed the effort as a political stunt, some GOP lawmakers have expressed unease over the infighting at the Pentagon.

Hegseth is scheduled to meet with top lawmakers next week to defend his budget request, a session that is now expected to be highly contentious.
