Representative Thomas Massie, Republican of Kentucky, has initiated a procedural move to force a House vote on impeaching Pete Hegseth. The mechanism, known as a privileged resolution, requires the House to vote by Wednesday. If the charges are approved by the House, the matter will proceed to a Senate trial.
The move highlights deep internal divisions within the Republican Party regarding the former official's conduct and eligibility. While the resolution forces the issue onto the floor, its passage remains uncertain amid significant political opposition and debate over the necessity and timing of such a proceeding.
