Rep.-elect Brad Lander (D-NY), a newly elected representative, has come out in favor of impeachment proceedings against several high-profile officials, including Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel. When asked by a reporter if there was an appetite for impeachment proceedings against either Hegseth or President Donald Trump, Lander stated that he would like to see the Senate impeach Hegseth, Patel, and Kennedy. Lander added that the three of them appear to have betrayed their requirements of their office. Lander also mentioned his interest in impeaching Trump, though he did not specify if he supports impeachment of Trump himself. During an interview on CNN, Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-PA) expressed that she felt Trump should not be the first person to be impeached, and during an interview on ABC News, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said he was a 'hard yes' on impeaching Hegseth.
