Rep. Mills Presents Drafted Articles of Impeachment to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin During House Armed Services Committee Hearing

March 29, 2023

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Cory Mills (FL-07), an Army combat Veteran and Bronze Star recipient, presented drafted articles of impeachment to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. Congressman Mills stated that because of the botched and shameful handling of the Biden administration’s withdrawal in Afghanistan, Secretary Austin should have resigned and be held accountable:

“When we had the chance, our leadership blew it. Sergeant Major Vargas- Andrews had the bomber in his sight, and in my view, it was a failure of leadership that he was not given the OK to take him down. This is not about politics; this is about accountability. That is why I drafted articles of impeachment to hold Secretary Lloyd Austin accountable for his dereliction of duty.

 “Americans deserve accountability for this, and more importantly, the 13 Gold Star families deserve to know who is responsible.”
