  "account": "House Democrats are gearing up to launch an impeachment inquiry against Pete Hegseth, a Defense Department official who has faced criticism for his approach to the Iran war and other controversial actions. Hegseth, who has come under fire for firing generals and blocking promotions, has also been accused of waging the Iran war without congressional approval and directing \"extrajudicial killings.\" Despite previous efforts to impeach Hegseth failing, officials believe it is likely that Democrats will pursue the matter again in the coming year, with Senate Republicans potentially supporting the effort. The focus of the inquiry will likely be narrow, tailored to appeal to Republican lawmakers who have expressed concerns about Hegseth's performance. Meanwhile, House Republicans are investigating Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's ties to a Chinese spy, raising tensions with President Trump, who has publicly defended Huang.",
  "summary": "House Democrats are already planning to make their impeachment case against the defense secretary as airtight—and appealing to Republicans—as possible.",
