美国共和党议员托马斯·马西向国防部长皮特·赫格塞特发出最后通牒，称如果他辞职，马西将不再重新提出弹劾条款，随着共和党在11月3日的中期选举失利，五角大楼首长面临的压力日益增大。
“只有在赫格塞特辞职的情况下，我才不会重新提出弹劾条款，”马西于11月4日在X上写道，以回应CNN的一篇报道。
US Republican Congressman Thomas Massie has given Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth an ultimatum, saying he will not reintroduce articles of impeachment against him if he resigns, as pressure mounts on the Pentagon chief following the Republican Party's losses in the November 3 midterm elections.“There is one contingency in which I won’t reintroduce the articles of impeachment: Hegseth resigns,” Massie wrote on X on November 4, responding to a report by CNN.
CNN在11月4日的报道中称，马西计划在国会下周恢复会议时触发众议院对赫格塞特的弹劾投票。该报道援引多位共和党消息人士称，议员们预计该议案将获得通过。马西的最新声明明确表示，除非赫格塞特离职，否则他将继续推进弹劾行动。
In its November 4 report, CNN said Massie planned to trigger a House vote on impeaching Hegseth when Congress returns next week. The report, citing multiple Republican sources, said lawmakers expected the measure to pass. Massie's latest statement makes clear that he intends to proceed with the impeachment effort unless Hegseth leaves office.
此事发生之际，民主党正准备掌控国会，同时也有部分共和党人对国防部长的领导以及政府处理伊朗战争的方式提出质疑。
美国国土安全部部长穆林表示，尽管国会将被民主党接管，驱逐行动仍将继续。马西曾对赫格塞特提出八项弹劾条款马西是来自肯塔基州的共和党议员，也是特朗普部分政策的著名批评者，他已于9月提出一项包含八项弹劾条款的决议。
The development comes as Democrats prepare to take control of Congress, while some Republicans have also raised questions about the defense secretary's leadership and the administration's handling of the war with Iran.US deportations to continue despite Democratic takeover of Congress, DHS head Mullin saysMassie had introduced eight articles of impeachment against HegsethMassie, a Republican from Kentucky and a prominent critic of some of Trump's policies, had already introduced a resolution containing eight articles of impeachment against Hegseth in September.
据ABC新闻报道，马西于9月15日在众议院全体会议上朗读了这份34页的决议，列举了涉及政府军事行动、平民伤亡以及伊朗冲突处理的指控。
According to ABC News, Massie read the 34-page resolution on the House floor on September 15, outlining allegations involving the administration's military operations, civilian casualties and the handling of the Iran conflict.
这些条款还指责赫格塞特在伊朗、也门、委内瑞拉等地区的军事行动中超越权限，并无视国会监督。
The articles also accused Hegseth of exceeding his authority in military operations in Iran, Yemen, Venezuela and other regions, and of disregarding congressional oversight.
这些是马西提出的指控，尚未被认定为不当行为的事实。弹劾行动在众议院为中期选举休会前未能进行表决。特朗普支持赫格塞斯，尽管有人呼吁将其免职。弹劾推动之际，赫格塞斯在共和党中期选举失利后，面临着关于其在特朗普政府中职位的质疑。11月4日，唐纳德·特朗普总统公开为他的国防部长辩护，称赫格塞斯做得“非常好”，尽管关于其政治前景的猜测日益增多。
These are allegations made by Massie and have not been established as findings of wrongdoing. The impeachment effort did not reach a vote before the House went into recess for the midterm elections. Trump backs Hegseth amid calls for his removalThe impeachment push comes as Hegseth faces questions about his position in the Trump administration following the Republican Party's midterm losses. President Donald Trump publicly defended his defense secretary on November 4, saying Hegseth was doing a “very good job” despite growing speculation about his political future.
特朗普再次推动实行永久夏令制，批评参议院搁置法案。该政府因处理伊朗战争的方式而受到批评，一些共和党人质疑军事战略及其政治后果。五角大楼也为赫格塞斯辩护。其发言人表示，国防部长仍致力于领导该部门直至特朗普任期结束。众议院弹劾投票只需简单多数，而通过参议院定罪免职赫格塞斯则需出席参议员的三分之二多数。
Trump renews push for permanent daylight saving time, criticizes Senate over stalled billThe administration has faced criticism over its handling of the Iran war, with some Republicans questioning the military strategy and its political consequences. The Pentagon has also defended Hegseth. Its spokesperson said the defense secretary remained committed to leading the department through the end of Trump's term.A House impeachment vote would require a simple majority, while removing Hegseth through a Senate conviction would require a two-thirds majority of senators present.
马西的最新声明再次将焦点放在赫格塞斯的职位上，该议员将国防部长辞职作为放弃其弹劾行动的条件。
Massie's latest statement puts the focus back on Hegseth's position, with the congressman making the defense secretary's resignation the condition for abandoning his impeachment effort.
