- The articles accused Hegseth, among other things, of conducting unauthorized military operations and abusing the powers of his office.
- Democrats won control of both chambers and could revive the effort when the new Congress convenes on January 3.
- A simple majority is required to impeach in the House; conviction in the Senate requires a two-thirds majority.
- Hegseth rejected the allegations as politically motivated and said he would not resign; Trump said he would stand by him even if the House impeached him.
“We’re not indicting him for being bad at his job. The argument here is that he’s broken laws and he’s violated the Constitution.”— Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky said this Monday while introducing the articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth.
