House Democrats filed six articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth on Wednesday, accusing the defense secretary of “high crimes and misdemeanors”, in reference to the attack on Iran without congressional authorization and deadly strikes on suspected drug smuggling boats, among other official acts.

• March strike on a school in Iran that left at least 175 individuals dead, including children, according to a New York Times report.
• Boat strikes in the Caribbean. The military has repeatedly sought to frame individuals on the vessels as “narco-terrorists”.
• National security through “careless and improper conduct”, citing an episode where classified information was shared on Signal in 2025.
