Congress must impeach Secretary Hegseth

Following Rep. Thomas Massie’s introduction of an impeachment resolution against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, CREW President Donald K. Sherman released the following statement: 

“To protect the safety, security and wellbeing of the American people, Congress must impeach Secretary Hegseth. For two years, he has brushed aside the law and the public he is supposed to serve. Nowhere is this more clear than his bypassing Congress and the Constitution to wage President Trump’s war of choice in Iran, which has resulted in military and civilian casualties and accelerated an affordability crisis. There’s no need to wait for the new Congress to begin delivering the accountability the public is demanding—this Congress can and must remove Secretary Hegseth from office right now.”
