A leading Democrat in the US House has expressed unequivocal support for impeaching US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, describing their position as “a hard yes”.
The statement places a senior House Democrat firmly in favour of impeachment proceedings against Hegseth. The supplied information does not identify the lawmaker or provide details of the grounds for the proposed action.
The Pentagon responded by saying that Hegseth would not be deterred by what it described as “phony investigations”. The department did not provide further details in the available material about the investigations or its broader response.
The latest position is therefore one of clear political opposition from a senior House Democrat and a firm rejection from the Pentagon. No further information about the timing or next steps in any impeachment process has been provided.
