US Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has called for the impeachment of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, accusing him of abusing his position through controversial US military operations.
In a statement shared on social media, Omar accused Hegseth of waging an illegal war in Iran, conducting extrajudicial killings in the Caribbean and putting innocent civilians in danger.
"Accountability is due. It's time to impeach Hegseth," she stated.
Her remarks come as Republican Congressman Thomas Massie has introduced eight articles of impeachment against the Pentagon chief, raising questions about the administration's military decisions and the limits of presidential authority.
Hegseth has rejected the impeachment effort, describing it as politically motivated.
The controversy is adding another major political confrontation to Washington amid growing debate over the US military campaign in Iran.
Do you think Pete Hegseth should face impeachment over these allegations?
