Democrat drops IMPEACHMENT HAMMER on Hegseth for “murder” after illegal kill order scandal blows wide open

In a jaw-dropping escalation of the crisis engulfing Donald Trump’s Pentagon, Rep. Shri Thanedar just lit the fuse on a political explosion — unveiling articles of impeachment accusing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth of nothing less than murder.

Yes, you read that right. Trump’s hand-picked attack-dog at the Pentagon is now facing charges that sound like they belong in The Hague, not Washington, D.C.

Thanedar’s filing — announced alongside activists staging a 24/7 protest against Trump’s lawless administration — accuses Hegseth of “murder,” “conspiracy to murder,” and the “reckless and unlawful handling of classified information.” And unlike most Trump-world scandals, this one comes with cold, hard facts that should terrify anyone who cares about the rule of law.

According to explosive reporting from the Washington Post, Hegseth ordered a second strike on two survivors left floating in the water after a September 2nd U.S. military attack in the Caribbean — an act so blatantly illegal that even Republicans are sounding the alarm. The White House didn’t deny that the attack happened. They just blamed a Navy admiral for carrying it out.

International Humanitarian Law is crystal clear: survivors who are hors de combat — out of the fight — must be spared. But under Hegseth’s leadership, sparing survivors was apparently optional.

A former JAG officer said flat-out that if the reporting is true, the order was “murder.” A Republican congressman — retired Brig. Gen. Don Bacon — openly demanded Trump fire Hegseth immediately.

And that’s only half the scandal.

Just hours before Thanedar’s impeachment announcement, the Pentagon’s own Inspector General revealed that Hegseth compromised U.S. troops by recklessly sharing classified targeting info over a Signal chat — and even accidentally included a journalist on the thread.

This is the man Trump put in charge of America’s military.

Now the walls are closing in. The constitutional crisis is here. And for once, Congress isn’t looking the other way.

Rep. Thanedar is drawing a hard line: If the Trump administration won’t police itself, then lawmakers — and the American people — will.

Please like and share if you can’t wait to see Hegseth be removed from his position.
