Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

Articles of impeachment against US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth were introduced in the House, according to a First Squawk post. The move marks a formal escalation of congressional scrutiny of Hegseth, though the articles' specific charges and sponsor count were not detailed in the item. It matters because impeachment proceedings would add a new layer of political uncertainty in Washington alongside the administration's defense and budget agenda. What to watch next is whether Republican leadership refers the articles to committee, how quickly they advance, and whether the effort gains enough support to force a floor vote.
