Republican congressman Thomas Massie has filed a privileged resolution containing eight articles of impeachment against the Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, on the House floor. CNN, CNBC and Local12 all confirm the filing.
According to Local12, the articles include waging the Iran war without congressional authorisation and continuing it past War Powers deadlines. The House now has two legislative days to act, either by voting on the articles or on a motion to table. That puts a vote due by Wednesday.
Impeachment needs a simple majority in the House. CNN says it will likely pass if all Democrats, Massie and a small handful of Republicans back it. Conviction would need two thirds of the Senate, which CNN says is unlikely.
Hegseth described the disagreements as "disagreements with success", CNN reports. He is due to hold a news conference on Tuesday. CNN says Trump has given him a "full-throated endorsement".
Massie is due to hold a news conference at 3:30pm US Eastern time on Monday, Local12 reports.
