"탄핵하겠다"에 "감옥 보내겠다"‥궁지 몰린 트럼프의 역공 (2026.11.09/뉴스데스크/MBC)

A Republican is leading the effort to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, while Democrats promise support and broader investigations of the Trump administration, South Korea's Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) reports.

The report identifies Representative Thomas Massie as the driving force behind the impeachment push. In an excerpt from a CNN interview, Democratic Representative Jason Crow makes his position explicit: "It should pass. I'm going to vote for it."

That effort is one part of the post-midterm confrontation described by reporter Lee Ji-eun. With Democrats having won control of the House, MBC says they plan to investigate the administration's conduct over the past two years, including decisions involving newly appointed White House chief of staff Stephen Miller. The report also names Elon Musk and Trump's family as prospective subjects of scrutiny.

Democratic Representative Robert Garcia explains the case for examining Miller's role: "Stephen Miller is at the center of the major policy decisions that are happening in the administration." He adds: "And so it does deserve oversight and investigation."

MBC reports that President Donald Trump has responded by saying Democratic lawmakers should go to prison and directing the Justice Department to investigate them. The segment closes with Attorney General Todd Blanche warning in an interview that he would be worried if he were a member of the committee.
