US House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries backed impeachment proceedings against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth following recent midterm election results.

US House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has voiced strong support for impeachment proceedings against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, with a House vote expected within a week.

The move comes alongside broader fallout from recent midterm elections. In a sit-down interview on 60 Minutes, US President Donald Trump addressed the Republican Party's electoral setbacks, his administration's migration agenda, potential cabinet reorganizations, and scrutiny regarding family wealth. Additionally, reports indicate Trump suggested involving Ultimate Fighting Championship chief Dana White in White House press room operations.
