Pete Hegseth, the US Defense Secretary, faces a push to remove him after impeachment articles are introduced in the House by Republican Rep. Thomas Massie. Multiple outlets describe Hegseth, 46, as having previously moved from being a Fox News co-host to leading the Pentagon, and as having a record marked by prior controversies that are now again raised in the impeachment effort.

The articles of impeachment are described as being introduced Monday by Massie, who is also portrayed as a Republican opponent of President Donald Trump and as seeking Hegseth’s removal. Outlets say Hegseth responds by stating he is prepared to defend his record.

One outlet further frames the political backdrop as increasingly hostile: it reports that some House Republicans, including President Trump, are beginning to “turn” against Hegseth and that a House impeachment vote could occur as early as this week. It also adds that some conservatives consider alternative paths, such as resignation, and points to concerns they say are not fully captured by the specific impeachment articles.
