Hegseth faces impeachment push

The impeachment articles represent the latest escalation in the political battle over the Trump administration's military strategy.

Lawmakers allege that Hegseth has demonstrated a willful disregard for the Constitution and has overseen a 'lethality-maxxing' culture that encourages infighting within the armed forces.

While the Republican-controlled House makes the resolution's passage unlikely, the move highlights deepening partisan divides over the war's conduct.

Hegseth is scheduled to defend the Pentagon's $1.5 trillion budget request before Congress next week.
