Rep. Yassamin Ansari today formally introduced articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, accusing him of violating his oath of office, endangering U.S. servicemembers and authorizing or enabling unlawful military actions tied to the ongoing conflict with Iran.
In a statement released Wednesday, April 15, Ansari said the impeachment effort was driven by what she described as "unauthorized acts of war" and serious breaches of constitutional authority. "Only Congress can declare war," she said, arguing that recent U.S. military operations in Iran, including a controversial strike in the southern city of Minab, raise urgent legal and ethical concerns.
