9:51Trump calls the military action a victory and defends Hegseth's role in it.

House leaders got no advance warning from Thomas Massie before he introduced articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. In Capitol footage featured by Brian Tyler Cohen, the Kentucky Republican says plainly: "I didn't give anybody a heads up."

Massie explains that decision by pointing to earlier legislative shutdowns over Epstein petitions. That behind-the-scenes account adds something beyond the House-floor announcement: how he chose to bring an impeachment resolution against a Republican administration before a Congress his own party still controls.

Cohen's video drew roughly 1.2 million views in its first seven hours. It opens with Massie reading the resolution, then builds its argument around whether the administration can conduct military action against Iran without congressional authorization.

Cohen places Trump's description of the action as an intermittent military conflict alongside earlier campaign promises to avoid foreign wars. A Vance campaign clip makes the Iran question explicit: "And our interest, I think very much, is in not going to war with Iran, right?"

The constitutional point comes next. Cohen cites Congress's power to declare war under Article I, Section 8, while Massie's floor remarks set out the resolution's case against Hegseth. These are grounds being advanced for impeachment, not a congressional finding against the secretary.

Trump's response is included too. He describes the military action as a victory and defends Hegseth by arguing that lawmakers want to impeach someone responsible for that success. Cohen uses that defense to underline the disagreement: military results, in his argument, do not settle who had authority to authorize the conflict.
