Update

#House #GOP leaders said a procedural vote on #Hegseth #impeachment would come in a matter of hours. #Democrats are expected to support removing him from office, & there may be enough #Republican backing to imperil his “leadership” of the #Pentagon.

The articles of impeachment, which accuse Hegseth of violating the #Constitution in his conduct of the #war in #Iran & other actions, will be read aloud before the vote.

#Republicans could attempt to use that vote to bottle up the articles in a committee for the rest of the year, or to kill them outright.

The #impeachment effort is being spearheaded by Rep #ThomasMassie, a Kentucky Republican, who has accused #Hegseth of abusing his power & endangering members of the #military.

The 8 articles of #impeachment involve #Iran & other ops, incl’g lethal strikes on boats the #Trump admin claims were smuggling drugs. They lay out a number of charges, including that #Hegseth disregarded #law intended to minimize #civilian casualties.
…Only a handful of #Republican defections/absences could allow the charges to advance to the #Senate for #trial. Though Republican leaders could delay sending them to the Senate, #Democrats could take up the articles when they assume power in Jan.
