Story summary

On November 9, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced he would hold a press conference at the Pentagon on Tuesday in response to growing calls for his impeachment. Representative Thomas Massie, R-Ky., has filed articles of impeachment against him primarily due to his use of military force without seeking authorization from Congress during the Iran conflict. Speculation suggests that outgoing lawmakers may vote to impeach Hegseth as a proxy for expressing their dissatisfaction with President Donald Trump.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
