Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., filed articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Hegseth on Monday. 

The articles accuse Hegseth of illegally launching the war in Iran and killing hundreds of civilians in boat strikes against suspected drug-smugglers int the Caribbean, Politico reported. 

Massie had initially offered articles of impeachment in September, but Speaker Mike Johnson adjourned the House before a vote could take place. 

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced he would hold a Tuesday press conference in the face of a growing impeachment push from lawmakers.
