Hakeem Jeffries, the House's top Democrat, says he firmly backs impeaching defence secretary Pete Hegseth, accusing him of abusing his power and steering America into a costly war with Iran. Republican congressman Thomas Massie plans to bring back his impeachment resolution as soon as Monday. Hegseth has dismissed the effort as a political smear, while Donald Trump says he is doing a very good job.
