House Democrats filed💥 six articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth on Wednesday,
accusing the defense security of
“high crimes and misdemeanors”,
in reference to the attack on Iran without congressional authorization
and deadly strikes on suspected drug smuggling boats, among other official acts.

The move comes as the Trump administration faces mounting scrutiny over recent foreign action, particularly the war with Iran.

In Wednesday’s resolution, Yassamin #Ansari, a Democratic congresswoman from Arizona, and colleagues including John #Larson of Connecticut accused Hegseth of disregarding rules to minimize civilian casualties during armed conflict.

The US may have been responsible for a March strike on a school in Iran that left at least 175 individuals dead, including children, according to a New York Times report.

The House Democrats also pointed at a growing number of boat strikes in the Caribbean.
The military has repeatedly sought to frame individuals on the vessels as “narco-terrorists”.

House Democrats also accused Hegseth of compromising national security through
“careless and improper conduct”,
citing an episode where classified information was shared on Signal in 2025
