Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) is seen before President Trump gives his State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress on Feb. 24, 2026, at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) is set to speak Monday as he pushes to force a House vote on ousting Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

The Kentucky Republican introduced eight articles of impeachment, accusing Hegseth of violating congressional war powers, suppressing free speech and authorizing unlawful military operations, including in Iran and Venezuela.

The effort comes as Congress returns for its lame-duck session following Republicans’ bruising midterm losses, which handed Democrats control of both chambers next year.

Massie has warned President Trump that Democrats could pursue more aggressive action against the defense chief once they take power in January. Hegseth, meanwhile, has defended the administration’s military operations amid growing scrutiny of his leadership at the Pentagon.

The event is scheduled to begin at 3:30 p.m. EST.
