PANews, citing Jin10 Data, reported that U.S. Secretary of Defense Hegseth said he is willing to accept being targeted for supporting Trump, and discussed impeachment efforts against cabinet members.
BlockBeats, citing CCTV, reported that House Democratic Leader Jeffries supports impeaching Defense Secretary Hegseth and plans to discuss the matter on the morning of the 10th local time.
According to reports, House Democratic leader Jeffries stated that currently no Democratic lawmaker has raised a demand with him to impeach Trump, and the caucus will focus on the cost of living and executive oversight.
Trump said that if the Democratic Party launches impeachment proceedings after taking control of Congress next year, he would "destroy" the Democratic Party, and said he would not fire Hegseth.
Trump made his first public appearance since the Republican Party’s midterm election defeat, stating that he would not replace Defense Secretary Hagel and noting that Iran-related wars have temporarily driven up oil prices and affected the election.
