Republican Representative Thomas Massie plans to begin the process for an impeachment vote against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth today, MS NOW congressional reporter Mychael Schnell tells Stephanie Ruhle.
"He told me his plan is to start the process for this Hegseth impeachment vote today," Schnell says, delivering the update midway through a panel discussion about Washington after the midterms. She adds that she has been told Republicans are ready to vote for impeachment. That is a report of prospective support, not an announced result.
The segment drew about 200,000 views in its first two and a half hours. Its central development comes after an opening discussion of Donald Trump's promotion of Stephen Miller to White House chief of staff and Democrats' plans to scrutinize the administration.
Schnell describes planned House Democratic investigations involving Miller and the use of subpoena powers. White House reporter Vaughn Hillyard, meanwhile, contrasts Trump's suggestions of bipartisan compromise with personnel choices that he says point toward continued hardline enforcement.
The New Yorker's Susan Glasser argues that Trump remains more inclined to exercise executive authority than pursue legislation. "He's not motivated by policy debates. He basically has no legislative agenda," she says.
Yet the discussion does identify a possible area for congressional cooperation: the American Affordability and Jobs Act. Ruhle and Glasser examine permitting reform and proposals to require AI data centers to fund energy upgrades, putting a practical legislative question alongside the confrontation over administration officials.
