Role at the time: U.S. representative for Michigan's 13th Congressional District
Statement summary
Thanedar said he filed two articles of impeachment after describing alleged extrajudicial killings and mishandling of classified information. His conclusion supports impeachment; the underlying allegations remain attributed to him.
“We cannot allow his reprehensible conduct to continue, which is why I have filed these articles to impeach him.”
Official congressional release announcing H.Res. 935. It documents Thanedar’s two proposed articles and position; the source’s described conduct is alleged, not adjudicated.
Relative to whether the House should impeach Hegseth under the stated proposals, Thanedar calls the alleged conduct reprehensible and says he filed articles to impeach him. This is an expressed critical conclusion, not merely a description of a resolution.
Role at the time: U.S. representative for Michigan’s 13th Congressional District
Statement summary
Announcing that he would file articles of impeachment, Rep. Thanedar said Hegseth was incompetent, had committed war crimes and must leave office. The war-crimes assertion is his characterisation, not an adjudicated finding.
“This secretary has to go. He’s incompetent. He’s, you know, violated — he has committed war crimes. He must go.”
The Hill reports Thanedar’s remarks in a LiveNOW from FOX interview with host Josh Breslow announcing that he would file impeachment articles. The National News Desk carried the same quotation. The war-crimes assertion is Thanedar’s characterisation.
Relative to whether the House should impeach Hegseth, Thanedar calls for his removal in the same interview in which he announces impeachment articles, tying the demand to the impeachment remedy rather than to firing or resignation.
