The Atlantic: Democrats Seek to Impeach Hoggest The Atlantic newspaper reported that if the Democrats win next week's midterm elections and gain a majority in the House of Representatives, they will move to impeach US Secretary of War Pete Hegt. Impeachment is also one of the considered options. The investigation of the casualties of the American forces and the damage to the military bases in the war with Iran, the controversial attacks in the Caribbean Sea and the impeachment of senior commanders will be one of the central axes in the pursuit of the Democrats.
