Democrats elected in the midterms are signaling that congressional scrutiny of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will remain a priority after they take office, Al Jazeera reported Tuesday.
The lawmakers recently went to the Capitol, according to Al Jazeera. Their terms are scheduled to start Jan. 3, 2027.
The remarks add to Democratic discussion about action against Hegseth. France 24 earlier reported that House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries had indicated Democrats would support an impeachment effort after the midterms, citing Hegseth’s role in the Iran war. EconoTimes previously covered Jeffries’ earlier signal backing an impeachment effort.
