[UK Media: Democrats Plan to Investigate and Push for Impeachment of U.S. Defense Secretary After Midterm Elections] According to a report by *The Daily Telegraph* on October 22, as cited by Golden Finance, the U.S. Democratic Party has contacted potential whistleblowers within the Pentagon. If they regain control of the House of Representatives after the November midterm elections, they plan to investigate Defense Secretary Hegseth and may subpoena his wife and key aides. The investigation will focus on the 2025 'Signal Gate' incident, the removal of several senior military officers and top Department of Defense officials, missile interceptor shortages during the Iraq War, actions against suspected drug-trafficking vessels, and potential contract corruption. Currently, there is no evidence indicating that Hegseth profited from related contracts. Three members of Congress have already proposed articles of impeachment against Hegseth, but a conviction would require a two-thirds majority in the Senate. The report also mentions that Trump may proactively remove Hegseth from his position to quell the controversy.
