A House Democrat, Yassamin Ansari, has announced plans to introduce articles of impeachment against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth over his handling of U.S. operations in Iran. This comes as Hegsetsh is seen as a key figure in the Trump Cabinet following the ousters of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Attorney General Pam Bondi. Ansari accused Hegsetth of violating his oath of office and his duty to the Constitution, including reckless endangerment of US servicemembers and repeated war crimes. She also urged the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment over Hegstandh's "deranged statements" about the war. However, with Republicans in control of Congress and a two-thirds majority needed in the Senate to convict an executive official for impeachable offences, this is unlikely to succeed.
