Jeffries Announces Support for Hegseth Impeachment
- The House will likely vote on impeaching Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth this week, with Republican leaders expecting the measure to pass with a simple majority despite party divisions.

- While the current House may impeach, Democrats plan to make investigating the Department of War "a key focus of their agenda" next year, though removal remains unlikely in the Senate.
