Hegseth Impeachment Delayed by Recess | Durham News

House Speaker Mike Johnson is sending lawmakers home early for their recess, effectively delaying a vote on impeaching Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth—just as Republican Rep. Thomas Massie’s impeachment resolution forced a rushed vote. Massie, who spent hours reading his detailed grievances on the floor, accuses Hegseth of abuse of power over Iran and Venezuela, but Johnson calls it a “publicity stunt,” warning it’s more about attention than accountability. The Attorney General backs Hegseth, saying he’s acting lawfully, while the impeachment effort’s timing and scope—spanning Iran, Venezuela, and national security—raise eyebrows ahead of the November elections.
