Ms. Ansari (for herself, Ms. McBride, Ms. Underwood, Mr. Green of Texas, Mr. Cohen, Ms. Crockett, Ms. Williams of Georgia, Ms. Titus, Mr. Min, Mr. Thanedar, Ms. Pettersen, Ms. Stansbury, Mr. Quigley, and Mr. Larson of Connecticut) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. Full Title: Impeaching Peter B. Hegseth, Secretary of Defense of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors. (H. Res. 1177)
Evidence
Representative Yassamin Ansari said on April 15, 2026 that she "filed Articles of Impeachment" against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and the press release says the articles were formally filed that day.
GovInfo lists H. Res. 1177 as introduced in the 119th Congress, 2nd Session, with the last action date April 15, 2026. The action states that Ms. Ansari and cosponsors submitted the resolution and it was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. GovInfo identifies the sponsor as Yassamin Ansari (AZ), the bill version as Introduced in House, and the full title as impeaching Peter B. Hegseth, Secretary of Defense, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
The introduced House resolution text says H. Res. 1177 was submitted in the House of Representatives on April 15, 2026 by Ms. Ansari and cosponsors and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. The resolution states that Peter B. Hegseth, Secretary of Defense, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors and that articles of impeachment be exhibited to the Senate.
Assessments
Ansari promised to introduce Articles of Impeachment against Pete Hegseth. Official House/GovInfo evidence shows she sponsored and submitted H. Res. 1177 on April 15, 2026, titled as articles impeaching Peter B. Hegseth and referred to the House Judiciary Committee. The promised action was introduction, not passage, so filing the resolution fulfills it during her current House term.
The promise was to introduce Articles of Impeachment against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. The provided evidence says Rep. Yassamin Ansari formally filed Articles of Impeachment on April 15, 2026 while serving in the same federal House term, directly satisfying the promised action. Because the promised outcome was introduction/filing rather than passage or removal, filing the articles counts as delivered.
