Jackson: Hegseth Impeachment Can't Wait for New Congress

Rep. Jonathan Jackson says Democrats cannot delay impeaching Secretary of War Pete Hegseth until the new Congress convenes in January, despite potential political advantages, citing urgency over the matter. Jackson noted Republican Rep. Thomas Massie is driving the impeachment effort, not Democrats, making delay impossible. He also argued against slowing proceedings, stating American soldiers' lives are at risk, and accused Hegseth of war crimes over Caribbean drug boat attacks. Hegseth has dismissed the impeachment push, calling supporters unpatriotic saboteurs. The vote is currently underway, with Jackson declining to speculate on President Trump's reaction to the timing.
