Republican Rep. Thomas Massie plans to force a House vote on articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth when lawmakers return to Washington, according to The Hill and Newsweek. Newsweek reports the vote could come as soon as next week. House Oversight Chair James Comer said there are “a lot of questions” about Hegseth in the Republican conference and that the decision is up to President Trump. Hegseth called the articles a “sham” and said they would not work against him. Newsweek also reports that Democrats are preparing more oversight of Trump administration officials, with Attorney General Todd Blanche a possible target. The New York Times says the push could put Hegseth in a standoff with both Democrats and Republicans.
