Explained: Why Is US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth Facing Impeachment?

Massie moved to force a vote to impeach Defence Secretary Hegseth based largely on the war in Iran. The impeachment resolution also includes references to Hegseth's role in carrying out military actions in Yemen and Venezuela. A vote in the House could come by mid-week. Hegseth said he would hold a press conference on Tuesday -- his first in over 180 days -- on the impeachment threat. He said the war was necessary, even if unpopular.
