Hakeem Jeffries, the top Democrat widely expected to become the next US House Speaker, has backed the impeachment of Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, declaring, “I’m a hard yes.” Jeffries accused Hegseth of abusing his power, undermining national security and engineering a costly war of choice in Iran. Republican Congressman Thomas Massie plans to introduce an impeachment resolution containing eight articles against Hegseth, alleging he launched military action against Iran without required congressional authorisation under the 1973 War Powers Resolution. The Pentagon maintains that it followed the law and says Hegseth will not be deterred by what it calls phony investigations.
