After the U.S. Democratic Party won a big victory in the midterm elections, it announced that the new Congress, which will take office in January next year, will launch a reckoning with the Trump administration’s actions over the past year or so. U.S. Secretary of War (Defense) Pete Hegseth has become one of the top targets. Republican Congressman Thomas Massie proposed eight articles of impeachment on Monday. The charges include launching a war against Iran without congressional approval and other abuses of power. U.S. President Trump said in response that he would continue to firmly support Hegseth.

According to foreign media reports, Massey said that he pushed for the impeachment of Hegseth not out of consideration of his work performance, but because Hegseth was "illegal and unconstitutional." Massey mentioned that the Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives (Mike Johnson) may try to delay the vote on this impeachment case by proposing a "suspend motion, or transferring the impeachment case to the committee for consideration." Massy said: "We should vote on these eight articles of impeachment and have a full and rigorous debate."

Hakeem Jeffries, who is expected to take over as Speaker of the House of Representatives, criticized Hakeem Jeffries on the 8th for "abusing power, weakening national security, and planning this reckless and costly war against Iran." He strongly supported impeachment. "Hakeem Jeffries must go. I believe this resolution will receive extremely strong support."

In response to the impeachment case initiated by Massie, Trump made it clear that he would support Hegseth, criticizing Massie for being "full of hatred in his heart" and questioning: "We have won two wars and made the world a safer place, and then we are going to be impeached?"
