US House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Sunday he would support a resolution to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, accusing him of engineering what he called a reckless and costly war against Iran, in an interview with ABC News' This Week.
Jeffries said Democrats would seek to end the Iran war when they take control of Congress in January.
“We want to do things like end this reckless and costly war of choice in Iran, which has made life way too expensive,” he said.
Asked whether he would support an impeachment resolution against Hegseth that Republican Representative Thomas Massie plans to introduce, Jeffries replied: “I'm a hard yes on the Hegseth resolution.”
“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, which has skyrocketed prices on the American people and made the country less safe. Pete Hegseth has got to go,” he said.
Jeffries said House Democrats would discuss the resolution when they reconvene Tuesday, adding that he expected strong support for it.
