Republican Rep. Thomas Massie reintroduced eight articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Monday, forcing a House floor vote this week.
Massie, who is retiring from Congress this year, accuses Hegseth of waging an unauthorized US war with Iran and military actions in Yemen. It also notes that he ordered extrajudicial killings targeting drug boats and the kidnapping of former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
While most Democrats are likely to support impeachment, the effort faces an uphill battle in the Republican-controlled Senate, even if it passes the House.
Hegseth dismissed the impeachment push.
