Democrats back impeachment of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth

House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries said Sunday he supports impeaching Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, accusing him of abusing power and undermining national security. Jeffries, who will lead the House when Democrats take a large majority in January, said Hegseth's costly Iran war caused inflation and made the country less safe. He stated "Pete Hegseth must go" and will discuss the impeachment resolution with his party Tuesday. Several Democrats and Republicans have threatened impeachment, with Republican Thomas Massie planning a milder case next week. Democrats have promised to investigate Hegseth's leadership, including his firing of Joint Chiefs Chairman Charles Brown.
