  • Democrats, regaining control of Congress in January, plan to investigate President Donald Trump and other officials, with multiple impeachment resolutions already filed against Trump, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Education Secretary Linda McMahon.
  • Trump has been impeached twice before but acquitted by the Senate; he anticipates further impeachment efforts under Democratic control and continues to defend Hegseth and his administration.
  • Democratic lawmakers have accused Trump of unauthorized military actions, abuse of power, and profiting from office, while Education Secretary McMahon and Health Secretary Kennedy face impeachment resolutions over department dismantling and spreading conspiracy theories, respectively.
  • House Speaker Mike Johnson and Pentagon officials defend Hegseth, calling him a strong leader, while Democrats emphasize impeachment as a tool among other legislative responses to alleged misconduct by Trump and his appointees.
