Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, Peter B. Hegseth, Secretary of Defense, and Kristi Noem, Secretary of Homeland Security, are impeached for Treason, and that the following article of impeachment be exhibited to the Senate: Article of impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives of the United States of America in the name of itself and of the people of the United States of America, against Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, Peter B. Hegseth, Secretary of Defense, and Kristi Noem, Secretary of Homeland Security in maintenance and support of its impeachment against them for Treason: Definition: Treason The Constitution provides that the House of Representatives “shall have the sole Power of Impeachment” and that the President and all civil Officers of the United States, “shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” Further, the Constitution declares that “Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort” In their respective conduct, Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, Peter B. Hegseth, Secretary of Defense, and Kristi Noem have, while performing the duties of their office —and in violation of their constitutional oath to faithfully to execute the duties of their office and, to the best of their ability, to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States — engaged in Treason by levying war against the United States in that: Confessions to Treasonous Levying of War On September 30, 2025, Donald J. Trump and Peter B. Hegseth addressed the entirety of US military leadership to explicitly declare their plans to execute a “war from within” the United States. They made this declaration of war to the military leadership they expect to execute the war. Peter B. Hegseth further requested that military leaders with the integrity to resist unlawful orders resign, saying “if the words I’m speaking today are making your heart sink, then you should do the honorable thing and resign.“ In remarks subsequent to Peter B. Hegseth’s speech, Donald J. Trump, in his official capacity as President of the United States, explicitly tied this war from within to American cities run by the opposition party, saying “You know, the Democrats run most of the cities that are in bad shape… what they’ve done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, they’re very unsafe places and we’re going to straighten them out one by one. And this is going to be a major part for some of the people in this room. That’s a war too. It’s a war from within.” Donald J. Trump and Peter B. Hegseth have forcibly nationalized and deployed the National Guard in an effort to deny and violate the right of the People of the United States to freedom of speech, and of assembly, and to petition the government for redress of grievances, embarking on a wide-ranging censorship campaign to punish his political opponents, chill opposition, and retaliate against constitutionally protected speech, association, and expression, including protest and political opposition. On October 5, 2025 Donald J. Trump, in his official capacity as President of the United States, remarked to an audience of naval cadets “[W]e have to take care of this little gnat that’s on our shoulder called the Democrats.” Donald J. Trump has further delighted in his effort to wage war upon the United States, posting, in his official capacity as President of the United States, an image of the Chicago skyline in flames captioned: “Chicago about to find out why it’s called the Department of WAR,” and including a depiction of himself in the image of the fictitious warmonger character Lt. Col. Kilgore from the 1979 film Apocalypse Now. The post was titled “Chipocalypse Now.” These statements by Trump and Hegseth are not a crime. They are, however, a confession.
