Jeffries backs Hegseth impeachment as 'hard yes'

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Sunday he is a "hard yes" on impeaching Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, citing alleged abuse of power and a costly war in Iran, and declared "Hegseth has got to go." Jeffries made the statement on ABC's "This Week," backing a resolution by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) with eight articles of impeachment. Democrats' recent congressional victories have improved the measure's chances, with House GOP leaders expecting enough defections to pass it. Jeffries, set to become speaker in January, will discuss the resolution with his caucus Tuesday. While a Trump adviser said Hegseth is "on thin ice," President Trump affirmed support, and Hegseth dismissed the articles as a "sham" from a "defeated congressman."
