Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-Ariz.) announced Monday she will introduce articles of impeachment against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth next week. The freshman Democrat cited Hegseth's handling of U.S. operations in Iran, accusing him of "repeatedly violating his oath of office" and "reckless endangerment of U.S. servicemembers."
Hegseth has emerged as Democrats' top target in the Trump Cabinet following the departures of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Attorney General Pam Bondi. Polls show Hegseth among the least popular Cabinet members, with mounting costs of the Iran conflict further straining his public image.
