[US House Democrats to Impeach Defense Secretary Hergsays, Accusing Him of Mishandling Military Actions Against Iran] (1) US House Democratic Representative Yassamin Ansari announced on Monday that he will bring articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Hergsays, accusing him of mishandling military actions against Iran. (2) Following the dismissals of Homeland Security Secretary Noem and Attorney General Bundy, Hergsays is becoming the primary target of Democrats against the Trump administration. Polls show him to be one of the most unpopular members of the cabinet, and the escalating costs of the conflict with Iran have further damaged his public image. (3) Ansari said he will bring articles of impeachment next week, citing Hergsays' "repeated breaches of his oath of office and his duty to the Constitution" and his "reckless endangerment of the safety of American servicemen and repeated war crimes," all of which constitute grounds for impeachment and removal from office.
