【福克斯独家报道】 据此前共和党众议员托马斯·马西领导的弹劾行动失败后接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访的议员透露，部分众议院民主党人不排除对战争部长皮特·赫格斯特发起额外弹劾条款，原因是其在处理对乌军援事宜上的表现。
不过，一名保守派法律专家表示，这次重启的弹劾行动或许并非旨在让赫格斯特下台，而是为了阻止保守派人士在未来的共和党政府中任职。
肯塔基州共和党众议员马西告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，虽然他无法证实赫格斯特不当扣留对乌军援的指控，但他认为民主党人会调查此事，并可能在1月掌控国会后提出额外弹劾条款。

“我相信（民主党人）可能会在占据多数时援引部分相同的弹劾条款，但我也相信，基于听证会和各委员会的调查，还会有其他一些弹劾条款出台，”马西告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，“我认为民主党人会这么做的。”

“我听说那是我的弹劾决议中未包含的投诉之一，”马西补充道。
马西承认，如果参议院最终未判定赫格斯特定罪，另一轮弹劾行动可能在很大程度上具有象征意义，但他表示，相关程序仍可能迫使这位战争部长辞职。
弹劾需要众议院简单多数通过，而判定定罪并解除职务则需要参议院三分之二多数支持。
马西表示，如果众议院弹劾赫格斯特，他希望由民主党控制的参议院组织审判。
“所以这仍然有继续推进的理由，”马西说。

此前，众议院周二否决了他提出的弹劾赫格斯特的动议，理由是赫格斯特未经国会授权就发动了针对伊朗以及大西洋和太平洋海域可疑毒品走私者的军事行动。

宪法赋予国会宣战权，而总统作为武装部队总司令，有权指挥军事行动。总统在未经国会授权的情况下启动敌对行动的范围，目前仍存在法律争议。
参议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党人查克·舒默周一也呼吁众议院弹劾赫格斯特，并敦促参议院组织审判将其免职。
舒默未回应福克斯新闻数字频道的置评请求。
传统基金会法律研究员扎克·史密斯批评民主党计划推进弹劾程序，并可能对特朗普政府官员提起诉讼，他表示，鉴于判定被弹劾官员免职需要参议院三分之二多数支持，这些举措“不幸是在浪费时间”。
不过史密斯认为，民主党推动弹劾程序，是为了阻止保守派人士在未来的共和党政府中任职，而非真的要让赫格斯特下台。
他补充道，这些行动还会分散国会对“我们国家当前面临的许多重要问题”的注意力，包括民主党人在中期选举前竞选时承诺解决的问题，比如降低生活成本。

“这不仅意味着参众两院需要从本应专注的立法工作中抽出时间，还会让特朗普政府的官员更难以履行职责，因为他们要应对国会提出的这些要求和其他相关举措，”史密斯告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
尽管史密斯表达了担忧，但亚利桑那州民主党众议员阿德利塔·格里哈尔瓦认同马西的预期，她告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，她预计国会监督委员会将调查赫格斯特处理对乌军援的情况。
格里哈尔瓦表示，她期待国会委员会举行听证会，调查赫格斯特对乌克兰资金的处理情况。

“这一问题会再次出现，因为一旦我们掌握更多他处理问题有多糟糕的信息，很可能会有更多进展，甚至可能出台更多弹劾条款，”格里哈尔瓦告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
这位自称为“程序和获取事实的坚定信奉者”的亚利桑那州民主党人表示，选民在2026年中期选举期间传递了明确信号。
格里哈尔瓦表示，美国民众投票时“表达得非常清楚”，表明“他们希望终结腐败”。

福克斯新闻数字频道无法独立核实赫格斯特不当扣留乌克兰资金或与此事相关的任何不当行为的指控。
赫格斯特未回应福克斯新闻数字频道的置评请求。
民主党当选众议员、加利福尼亚州的斯科特·维纳告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，他“不知道”是否会提出额外弹劾条款，也不了解支持这些指控的证据。不过他表示支持罢免赫格斯特。
“我完全支持弹劾他，”维纳告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，“他是我们军队和国家的灾难。”
与此同时，共和党人指责民主党人对特朗普政府官员发起出于政治动机的弹劾程序。
佛罗里达州共和党众议员、众议院外交事务委员会主席布莱恩·马斯特在周二投票后接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时表示，他对民主党人弹劾赫格斯特的兴趣“并不感到惊讶”。
马斯特认为，民主党人决心弹劾“任何由总统任命的人”，无论是否有证据支持这些指控。

此次讨论正值民主党准备在1月掌控国会之际，该党届时将获得更大权力，以启动调查、举行听证会并推进弹劾程序。
Hegseth could face new impeachment push over Ukraine aid, lawmakers warn
November 11, 2026 11:10am EST / Fox News
FIRST ON FOX: Some House Democrats are leaving the door open to additional articles of impeachment against War Secretary Pete Hegseth over his handling of military aid to Ukraine, according to lawmakers who spoke with Fox News Digital after a failed impeachment effort led by Republican Rep. Thomas Massie.
But a conservative legal expert suggested the renewed impeachment push may be less about removing Hegseth from office than discouraging conservatives from serving in future Republican administrations.
Massie, R-Ky., told Fox News Digital that while he could not substantiate allegations that Hegseth improperly withheld military assistance to Ukraine, he believes Democrats will investigate the matter and potentially introduce additional articles of impeachment when they take control of Congress in January.

“I believe [Democrats] may use some of the same articles of impeachment when they’re in the majority, but I also believe there are gonna be some other articles of impeachment based on hearings and committees,” Massie told Fox News Digital. “I think the Democrats will do that.”
DEMOCRATS RALLY BEHIND GOP LAWMAKER’S HEGSETH IMPEACHMENT PUSH, SIGNAL MORE TO COME IN JANUARY

“I heard that as one of the complaints that wasn’t in my impeachment resolution,” Massie added.
Massie acknowledged that another impeachment effort could be largely symbolic if the Senate fails to convict Hegseth, but argued that the proceedings could still pressure the war secretary to resign.
While impeachment requires a simple majority in the House, conviction and removal from office require a two-thirds majority in the Senate.
Massie said he hopes a Democratic-controlled Senate would hold a trial if the House impeaches Hegseth.
“So there’s still a reason to proceed,” Massie said.

His remarks came after the House rejected his effort Tuesday to impeach Hegseth over military operations against Iran and suspected drug smugglers in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans without congressional authorization.

The Constitution grants Congress the power to declare war, while the president, as commander in chief, has authority to direct military operations. The extent to which a president can initiate hostilities without congressional authorization remains legally disputed.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., also called on the House Monday to impeach Hegseth and urged the Senate to hold a trial to remove him from office.
Schumer did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Zach Smith, a legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation, criticized Democrats’ plans to pursue impeachment and potential prosecution of Trump administration officials, calling the efforts an “unfortunate waste of time” given the two-thirds Senate majority required to convict and remove an impeached official.
Smith argued, however, that Democrats are prioritizing impeachment proceedings to discourage conservatives from serving in future Republican administrations, not to actually remove Hegseth.
He added that the efforts would also divert congressional attention from “the many very important issues that our country is facing today,” including concerns Democrats campaigned on ahead of the midterm elections, such as driving down the cost of living.

“Not only does this mean that the House and the Senate will have to take time away from the legislative activities they should be focusing on, but it will also make it more difficult for members of the Trump administration to do their duties as well, because they’ll have to be dealing with these requests and other efforts by Congress,” Smith told Fox News Digital.
Despite Smith’s concerns, Rep. Adelita Grijalva, D-Ariz., echoed Massie’s expectations, telling Fox News Digital that she anticipates congressional oversight committees will investigate Hegseth’s handling of military assistance to Ukraine.
Grijalva said she expects congressional committees to hold hearings examining Hegseth’s handling of Ukraine funding.

“This is an issue that will come up again, because once we have more information into how bad his handling has been, we will likely have more movement and possibly more articles of impeachment,” Grijalva told Fox News Digital.
The Arizona Democrat, who described herself as “a big believer in process and getting the facts out,” argued that voters sent a clear message during the 2026 midterm elections.
Grijalva said Americans spoke “very clearly” when they voted, signaling that “they want to put an end to the corruption.”

Fox News Digital could not independently verify the allegation that Hegseth improperly withheld Ukraine funding or engaged in any wrongdoing related to the matter.
Hegseth did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Rep.-elect Scott Wiener, D-Calif., told Fox News Digital that he had “no idea” whether additional impeachment articles would be introduced and was unaware of evidence supporting the allegations. However, he expressed support for removing Hegseth from office.
“I will fully support impeaching him,” Wiener told Fox News Digital. “He’s a disaster to our military and our country.”
Republicans, meanwhile, accused Democrats of pursuing politically motivated impeachment proceedings against Trump administration officials.
House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast, R-Fla., told Fox News Digital following Tuesday’s vote that he was “not surprised” by Democrats’ interest in impeaching Hegseth.
Mast argued that Democrats were determined to impeach “anyone who was appointed by the president,” regardless of whether evidence supported the allegations.

The discussions come as Democrats prepare to take control of Congress in January, giving the party greater power to launch investigations, hold hearings and pursue impeachment proceedings.
