Congressman Thomas Massey, a Republican member from Trump\u2019s own party representing Kentucky, has initiated impeachment proceedings against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. On Monday, November 9, Massey introduced an impeachment resolution in the House of Representatives containing eight charges against Hegseth. The resolution accuses Hegseth of serious violations including conducting military actions against Iran without Congressional approval and abuse of power. The document also refers to U.S. military operations in Yemen and Venezuela as well as allegations of legal violations related to the protection of civilian lives. The move by a Republican party member to impeach a top defense official within the Trump administration introduces a new political dimension to the existing divisions within the Republican Party. Meanwhile, President Trump has declared his support for Hegseth. Hegseth responded by stating he is not worried about the impeachment efforts and expects the House of Representatives to take action on the resolution. However, simply introducing the resolution does not require Hegseth to resign. He can only be removed from office if the House approves impeachment and the Senate convicts him with a two-thirds majority. This initiative from within Trump\u2019s own party poses a new political challenge to the administration.<\/p>\n<p>n<\/p>\n<p><small>Original Malayalam report: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.malayalamdailynews.com\/782978\/\">Malayalam Daily News<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON: The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump is facing challenges from within its own ranks.
