Rep. Massie has refiled impeachment articles against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth - a potential vote could happen this week. 

Massie did file these articles prior to the midterms, but the outgoing House Speaker Mike Johnson adjourned the house to block the articles proceeding. It is unlikely he will do so again - there's been a lot of speculation that Republicans, especially those recently made unemployed as of January, will back the impeachment. 

Its unclear how the senate would vote, but believed that it wont reach a 2/3rds majority to successfully remove him from office.

There has been speculation that Trump may sack him this week.

Trump today did blame Hegseth for the Iran War (having also sought to assign blame to JD Vance).
