Congressman Introduces Articles of Impeachment Against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth

Washington, D.C. - Congressman Shri Thanedar has introduced articles of impeachment against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, citing allegations of unlawful killings and mishandling of classified information, as bipartisan criticism mounts over Hegseth’s leadership of the Pentagon.

“Pete Hegseth is uniquely unqualified to serve as Secretary of Defense,” said Rep. Thanedar in a statement Thursday. “Every day he serves in this role, he puts American servicemembers and their families in danger.” Thanedar accuses Hegseth of issuing unlawful orders that resulted in the killing of civilians aboard a Venezuelan boat, a move the congressman says violates the Defense Department’s Law of War Manual.
