Ousting Hegseth ‘priority No. 1’ if Democrats retake majority, Rep. Jason Crow says

Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) said Sunday that ousting War Secretary Pete Hegseth is his “priority No. 1” if the Democrats retake the House of Representatives in November’s midterm elections.

A member of the House Armed Services Committee, Crow was asked by Margaret Brennan on Face the Nation about reports that Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton “received intelligence that Iran has substantially increased efforts to target U.S. personnel” in the Middle East.
