House Democrat to file articles of impeachment against Hegseth over boat strikes: 'War crimes have been committed' [View all]
Michigan Rep. Shri Thanedar accuses defense secretary of ‘murder and conspiracy to murder’ over deadly strikes on alleged narco-boats and ’reckless and unlawful mishandling of classified information’A House Democrat has pledged to file two articles of impeachment against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth over his actions against alleged drug boats in the Caribbean and Pacific and his part in the “Signalgate” scandal.
In a video posted to social media, Michigan Democrat Shri Thanedar explained: “Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is uniquely unqualified for his role. Every day, it becomes clearer he is engaging in unlawful, illegal activity.”
Thanedar said the first would be “for murder and conspiracy to murder” over the deadly strikes on alleged narco-boats and the second for the “reckless and unlawful mishandling of classified information,” referring to Hegseth discussing plans for an airstrike on Houthi rebels in Yemen earlier this year in a group chat on the messaging app Signal.

“And if both parties, if Republicans are willing to look at this for the merit of this case and not just their loyalty to President [Donald] Trump, this can be done.”
