Massie read articles of impeachment against Hegseth in the US House of Representatives on Tuesday, accusing the Pentagon chief of waging war without congressional approval, carrying out extrajudicial killings, and paying little mind to civilian casualties in military operations.

O chefe do Pentágono tem enfrentado críticas pela guerra entre os EUA e Israel contra o Irã e seu histórico de comentários desdenhosos sobre proteções destinadas a minimizar baixas civis e garantir a adesão à lei pelas forças dos EUA, que ele descartou como regras de engajamento “estúpidas” e “politicamente corretas” que atrapalham o militar.

The resolution for Hegseth’s impeachment could receive a vote in the coming days, but faces long odds of success in the Republican-majority US House of Representatives.

O Pentágono disse que apoia Hegseth.

While polls show that most Republicans support the otherwise unpopular war on Iran, a handful of figures on the political right, including Massie and media personality Tucker Carlson, have become increasingly critical of the Trump administration’s interventionist foreign policy.

O presidente Donald Trump, que prometeu reduzir a participação dos EUA em conflitos ao redor do mundo durante sua campanha presidencial de 2024, já criticou Massie por sua oposição à guerra contra o Irã e pelos esforços para forçar o governo a divulgar os Arquivos Epstein.

Massie lost his primary election in May to a Trump-backed challenger and a barrage of spending by pro-Israel groups.
