  "summary": "House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries expressed strong support for impeaching Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Sunday. Speaking to ABC News, Jeffries stated he is a \"hard yes\" on the resolution, accusing Hegseth of abusing his power, undermining national security, and engineering a \"reckless and costly war of choice in Iran\" that has increased prices for Americans and decreased safety.\n\nJeffries predicted there would be incredibly strong support for the resolution among Democrats, though he noted his conference will discuss the matter on Tuesday morning when members convene in Washington. According to ABC News, Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie intends to reintroduce a privileged resolution to impeach Hegseth as early as Monday. Massie's resolution reportedly contains eight articles of impeachment against the secretary.",
