A Republican member of the US Congress has launched an impeachment bid against Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, accusing him of misconduct over the ongoing war in Iran.

Kentucky Representative Thomas Massie filed eight articles of impeachment on Monday, alleging that Hegseth illegally pursued military action without obtaining approval from Congress and abused his authority as Pentagon chief.

The development could trigger a heated confrontation in Congress, coming only days after President Donald Trump’s Republican Party suffered a crushing midterm election defeat.
