House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has announced his strong support for the impeachment of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. During an appearance on ABC’s This Week, Jeffries described himself as a hard yes on the impeachment resolution, stating that Hegseth has abused his power.
The articles of impeachment are expected to be brought to a vote as early as this week. This renewed effort to level articles of impeachment is being led by a Republican lawmaker who is preparing to force the House vote.
Jeffries, who is poised to become majority leader and is expected to be the next House speaker, indicated that he will confer with other Democratic lawmakers regarding the issue on Tuesday.
