Rep. Seth Moulton just accused Secretary of War Pete Hegseth of committing war crimes. He drew a direct line between his recent military actions and Nazi officers executed after World War II.
During a heated House Armed Services Committee hearing on April 29, 2026, the Massachusetts Democrat pressed Hegseth on the Trump administration’s strikes against suspected drug boats in the Caribbean, calling the operation a violation of the Geneva Conventions. Moulton didn’t hold back, telling CNN that Hegseth was “absolutely” guilty of war crimes and invoking a historical precedent to drive his point home.
