Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-Ariz.) filed six articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, accusing him of repeatedly violating his oath to the Constitution.
“Pete Hegseth broke his oath to the Constitution, put U.S. troops at grave risk through the unauthorized disclosure of classified information, engaged in abuse of office and conduct beneath the dignity of his office, and carried out unlawful military actions despite his obligation to refuse–including strikes on civilians and a girls’ school in Minab, Iran,” Ansari said in a statement.
“Hegseth’s conduct meets the threshold of high crimes and misdemeanors and warrants immediate removal by Congress,” she said.
