US Democrats Push to Impeach Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth After Midterm Wins

US House Democratic Leader <b>Hakeem Jeffries</b> has backed efforts to impeach defence secretary Pete Hegseth following recent midterm election victories. Speaking on Sunday, Jeffries accused Hegseth of abusing power and engineering the war against Iran. Jeffries stated he strongly supports a resolution introduced by Republican Representative Thomas Massie, claiming the defence secretary has harmed national security. Meanwhile, Hegseth dismissed the impeachment push in a video, calling it political destruction that will not work. Democrats are preparing wider investigations into the Trump administration as they take control of Congress. However, some lawmakers have cautioned against letting investigations overshadow legislative agendas for working-class families.
