After midterm win, US Democrats say they will probe Elon Musk and Stephen Miller from January
House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries says he is 'a hard yes' on impeaching Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
- Democrats take Congress in January
- Probes: Musk, Miller; impeachment push on Hegseth
- Administration says it will contest
The plans
Rep. Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, said several committees want to question Elon Musk over DOGE's firing of federal workers last year, and also examine White House chief of staff Stephen Miller over the immigration crackdown. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, set to lead the Senate Banking Committee, warned that companies could face investigations.
Hegseth and the response
Jeffries said Hegseth 'has got to go', and Republican Rep. Thomas Massie, who leaves Congress in January, plans to reintroduce impeachment articles. Attorney General Todd Blanche said the administration is ready to contest the probes. The inquiries would begin once Democrats take control of Congress in January.
