British media report Democrats have contacted potential Pentagon whistleblowers
and, if they retake the House after November midterms, plan to investigate
Defense Secretary Hegseth and may subpoena his wife and key aides. The planned
inquiry would target the 2025 "SignalGate" incident, the removal of multiple
senior officers and Pentagon officials, reported shortages of missile
interceptors in a potential conflict with Iran, operations against vessels
suspected of drug trafficking, and possible contract corruption; the report says
there is no evidence Hegseth personally profited. Three House members have filed
impeachment articles; conviction would require a two-thirds Senate vote. The
report adds Trump could move to dismiss Hegseth to defuse the dispute.
