Outgoing Congress Returns for Busy Week of Funding Fights and a Possible Hegseth Impeachment Vote
Thomas Massie is pushing the impeachment effort as Congress returns and lawmakers face a federal funding deadline next month.
- Republican Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky is leading a possible House impeachment vote this week targeting Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, following increased political pressure after Republican Party losses last week.
- House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries told ABC News on Sunday he would be a "hard yes" on impeachment, saying the "so-called Secretary of Defense has abused his power, undermined our national security, and engineered this reckless and costly war of choice in Iran."
- President Trump defended Hegseth on Sunday and ordered the Justice Department to investigate Democrats, writing on Truth Social that threats to Republican supporters constitute "extortion at the highest level."
- Newly elected members of Congress will participate in orientation Monday ahead of their January term, while Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed said he is "happy to meet with him like I'll meet with anyone who can advance the goals I ran on."
- Before the outgoing Congress concludes its term, federal government funding is set to run out next month, forcing lawmakers to reach a spending deal by December 11 to avoid a government shutdown.
