Jeffries backs impeaching Hegseth over Iran war failures

thehill.com —

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Sunday he is a "hard yes" on impeaching Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, citing alleged abuse of power and national security failures related to a war in Iran. Jeffries made the comments on ABC News's "This Week," following Rep. Thomas Massie's plan to introduce an impeachment resolution. Hegseth dismissed the threats as political theater, comparing them to past attempts against President Trump. Jeffries's stance comes after Democrats won both chambers in Tuesday's midterm elections, likely blocking the Trump administration's agenda. The Hill has sought comment from the Pentagon.
