House Democrats will introduce articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Wednesday. The resolution accuses him of abuse of power and war crimes. The move represents a significant escalation in political tensions over the administration's foreign policy.
The measure has virtually no chance of passing this Congress. It signals, however, that Democrats have coalesced around Hegseth as their new top target in the Cabinet. The party previously pushed to impeach other Trump administration officials who were later ousted.
