WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Thomas Massie moved Monday to force a vote to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, putting pressure on his fellow Republicans to decide whether to remove one of the Trump's administration's most prominent figures following sweeping election losses.

A vote in the House could come by mid-week.
