Hakeem Jeffries backs Hegseth impeachment, citing abuse of power and Iran war

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries announced Sunday he is a "hard yes" on impeaching Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, citing alleged abuse of power and the Iran war. He predicted "incredibly strong support" among Democrats for the resolution. Jeffries stated Hegseth "has got to go" on ABC's "This Week," arguing the defense secretary undermined national security and caused price increases. He said Democrats will discuss the matter Tuesday, their first meeting since the midterm election. Outgoing Republican Rep. Thomas Massie plans to reintroduce a privileged impeachment resolution Monday with eight articles, including violating the War Powers Resolution. President Trump has defended Hegseth, saying he has "done a fantastic job" and intends to keep him.
