United States2026-09-16 02:02:14Rep. Thomas Massie files impeachment articles against Hegseth, forcing House actionAccording to ChainCatcher, U.S. Republican Representative Thomas Massie on Sept. 15 local time filed articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Hegseth, accusing him of abusing his authority by ordering hostile military action against Iran without congressional approval. The resolution is seen as having little chance of passing. Even so, Massie’s move could force the House of Representatives to hold a vote on the matter. He introduced the impeachment measure as a privileged resolution, a procedural step that requires the House to take it up within two legislative days rather than set it aside. That filing route makes near-term House consideration mandatory under chamber procedure, even if the underlying effort is not expected to advance.500

Trump2026-08-08 13:17:32House Democrats Plan Broad Investigation of Trump's Circle, Not Impeachment, Sources SayFour people familiar with the matter say House Democrats are preparing for a possible return to majority control by mapping out a broad investigative strategy aimed at Donald Trump's business and financial network, but not at impeaching him right away. The effort is being organized ahead of a possible shift in control after the midterms. Senior Democrats and aides on relevant committees have discussed using hearings, subpoenas and document requests to obtain records from entities connected to Trump's political and commercial circles. Their calculation, the sources said, is that investigating private companies and outside financial players will be more productive than directly confronting a White House that could resist oversight. Democrats involved in the planning envision using the House's investigative powers after the Nov. midterm elections to review government decision-making, and to look into whether Trump used his office to benefit himself, his allies or his donors. The immediate focus, the people said, is on gathering records rather than launching impeachment proceedings.1940
