Hegseth faces impeachment articles

Representative Yassamin Ansari, who introduced the resolution, argued that Hegseth has repeatedly abused his power and bypassed congressional oversight.

The articles also cite the controversial firing of Army Chief of Staff General Randy George as evidence of a 'chilling effect' on military operations.

While the Republican-controlled House is unlikely to pass the measures, the move underscores the deep political division over the Trump administration's military strategy.

Hegseth has defended his actions as necessary for national security, while critics maintain they constitute clear violations of international law.
