Jeffries joins the impeachment effort
Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic leader in the US House of Representatives, publicly endorsed the effort to impeach Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth on 8 November. His support concerns Republican Thomas Massie’s proposed resolution. Democrats are preparing to discuss the matter when they return to Congress after the midterm elections.[1], [2]
In his Sunday interview, Jeffries accused Hegseth of abusing his authority and conducting a costly war in Iran. He argued that the conflict had raised Americans’ living costs and weakened national security. Those accusations are Jeffries’ political position; Hegseth disputes the effort against him.[1]
