众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯（民主党-纽约州）表示，他对支持弹劾国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯的努力是“毫不犹豫的赞成”，预计相关表决将于本周进行。在接受ABC节目《本周》采访时，当被问及是否支持众议员托马斯·马西（共和党-肯塔基州）弹劾赫格塞斯的行动时，杰弗里斯确认了他的支持。“我对赫格塞斯弹劾决议是毫不犹豫的赞成，”杰弗里斯说。
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., said he is a “hard yes” on supporting efforts to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, which are expected to be brought to a vote this week. Asked in an interview on ABC’s “This Week” whether he would support Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., in his efforts to impeach Hegseth, Jeffries confirmed he supported the push. “I’m a hard yes on the Hegseth resolution,” Jeffries said.
“这位所谓的国防部长滥用职权，破坏了我们的国家安全，并策划了这场在伊朗鲁莽且代价高昂的选择性战争，导致美国民众物价飞涨，让国家变得更不安全。”他补充道：“皮特·赫格塞斯必须下台。”
“The so-called secretary of defense has abused his power, undermined our national security and engineered this reckless and costly war of choice in Iran, which has skyrocketed prices on the American people and made the country less safe.”“Pete Hegseth has got to go,” he added.
杰弗里斯的支持是对弹劾赫格塞斯行动的重大背书，也预示着其他众议院民主党人最终可能如何对该措施投票。这一弹劾推动也在考验议员们为了罢免赫格塞斯愿意走多远，此前选民对政府处理伊朗战争的方式给出了低分，这影响了中期选举结果。
Jeffries’ support is a major endorsement of impeachment efforts against Hegseth and signals how other House Democrats could ultimately vote on the measure. The impeachment push also tests how far lawmakers are willing to go to oust Hegseth after voters have given low marks to the administration’s handling of the war in Iran, which factored into the midterm election results.
在被ABC新闻问及是否认为所有其他众议院民主党人都会支持该弹劾决议时，杰弗里斯表示，他们将“周二早上进行那次谈话”。
Asked on ABC News whether Jeffries believed all other House Democrats would support the impeachment resolution, he said they would “have that conversation Tuesday morning.”
众议院本周恢复开会，弹劾决议预计将于本周早些时候提交，随后将进行表决。马西一直是赫格塞斯和伊朗战争的直言不讳的批评者。他此前曾在9月提交弹劾赫格塞斯的决议，但共和党领导层取消了原定的表决，众议院提前休会，将表决推迟到选举之后。
The House is back in session this week, and the impeachment resolution is expected to be filed early this week, with a vote to follow. Massie has been a vocal critic of Hegseth and the war in Iran. He previously filed a resolution to impeach Hegseth in September, but Republican leaders canceled planned votes, and the House left early, pushing the vote to after the election.
美国全国广播公司新闻（NBC News）上周报道称，唐纳德·特朗普总统已告知盟友，他正在考虑替换赫格塞斯。
NBC News reported last week that President Donald Trump has told allies that he was considering replacing Hegseth.
特朗普则公开否认计划替换赫格塞斯，上周告诉记者，赫格塞斯“干得非常好”。与此同时，赫格塞斯也强力回击了马西的弹劾计划，在上周的一段社交媒体视频中称马西为“一名心怀不满、已被击败的众议员”。“这全是人身毁灭式的政治手段，”赫格塞斯在视频中说，“对特朗普总统不起作用，对我也不起作用。你们可以放心。”
Trump, though, has publicly denied that he plans to replace Hegseth, telling reporters last week that he was “doing a very good job.”At the same time, Hegseth has forcefully pushed back on Massie’s impeachment plans, referring to Massie in a social media video last week as a “disgruntled, defeated congressman.”“It’s all about the politics of personal destruction,” Hegseth said in the video. “Didn’t work against President Trump, and it won’t work with me. You can rest assured of that.”
不过，马西上周在社交媒体上表示，他的“赫格塞斯弹劾决议，比民主党控制国会时即将出台的手段要温和得多”。马西说，民主党人将“举行听证会和审判”。众议员亚萨明·安萨里（民主党-亚利桑那州）也于4月提出了一项弹劾赫格塞斯的决议。在一条转发杰弗里斯周日讲话的帖子中，安萨里表示，赫格塞斯“必须被追究责任”。“让我们把这提交到众议院全会，并在本周进行表决，”她在帖子中说。
Massie, though, said on social media last week that his “Hegseth impeachment resolution is a much gentler version of what’s coming when Dem’s control Congress.”Democrats, Massie said, would “have hearings & trials.”Rep. Yassamin Ansari, D-Ariz., also introduced a resolution to impeach Hegseth in April. In a post sharing Jeffries’ comments Sunday, Ansari said that Hegseth “must be held accountable.”“Let’s get this to the floor and voted on this week,” she said in the post.
