Washington — House Democrats unveiled articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Wednesday, making serious allegations about his handling of the war in Iran and his leadership more broadly.

The resolution, led by Rep. Yassamin Ansari of Arizona, lists six impeachment articles:

 • Unauthorized war against Iran and reckless endangerment of U.S. service members; 

• Violations of the law of armed conflict and targeting of civilians; 

• Negligence and reckless handling of sensitive military information; 

• Obstruction of congressional oversight; 

• Abuse of power and politicization of the armed forces;

• Conduct bringing disrepute upon the U.S. and its armed forces. 

The impeachment push almost certainly won't go anywhere in the House this year, since Republicans have a narrow majority. But its Democratic sponsors could renew their efforts if the party takes control of the chamber following the midterm elections.
