(COMBO) This combination of pictures created on November 09, 2026 shows (L/R) US Representative Thomas Massie, Republican from Kentucky, in Washington, DC, on February 9, 2026 and US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth leaves after attending the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Defence Ministers' Meeting in Cebu, Philippines, on October 28, 2026. Massie, a Republican congressman from Kentucky, moved on November 9, 2026, to impeach US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over the war in Iran, setting up a potentially explosive vote in Congress just days after President Donald Trump's party suffered a crushing midterm defeat. Massie introduced eight articles of impeachment accusing Hegseth of illegally waging war without congressional authorization and abusing his powers as Pentagon chief.
