House Democrats Target Hegseth for Impeachment

“House Democrats are setting their political sights on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, pushing for his removal as the first spoils from anticipated wins in the midterm election,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“House Democratic Party leaders and candidates in competitive districts have avoided committing to a third impeachment of President Trump if they flip the GOP-led chamber, seeing it as potentially counterproductive. But lawmakers are ready to go after Hegseth as soon as they can, with a vote likely next month while Republicans are still in charge and another crack at it next year—when Democrats hope they are running the chamber.”

Said House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY): “One of the first things we’re going to do in the majority, we’re going to run Pete Hegseth out of town.”
