House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said Sunday that he supports a resolution to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, according to The Hill. The Hill reported that Jeffries described himself as a "hard yes" on the resolution and said Hegseth has abused his power and undermined national security.

The Hill described Jeffries as likely to become Speaker of the House when the new Congress convenes in January. The Guardian described him as poised to become majority leader. The two reports differ on the leadership post Jeffries is expected to hold, and the summaries available do not resolve the difference.

The Guardian reported that Jeffries made his position clear during an appearance on ABC, where he said he strongly supports impeaching Hegseth. The Guardian also reported that a Republican lawmaker is preparing to force a House vote on the impeachment resolution. Its headline quoted Jeffries as saying of Hegseth, "He has got to go."

The Guardian described the measure as an impeachment resolution against the defense secretary, while The Hill's account of Jeffries's remarks refers to a Hegseth resolution. Both outlets attribute the remarks to Jeffries and describe them as made on Sunday.

The reports summarized here do not include a response from Hegseth or his office. They also do not provide further details on the timing of a House vote or on the specific contents of the resolution beyond Jeffries's stated criticisms.
