Jeffries EXPOSES White House Cover-Up in Hegseth Strike Scandal - Liberal Lens



House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries just accused the White House of lying about the deadly Venezuelan boat strikes — and directly implicated Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in what could become one of the most serious scandals of the Trump presidency.

In this video, we break down Jeffries’ explosive comments, why the administration’s shifting story no longer adds up, and how these revelations could open the door to investigations into illegal military action, cover-ups, and political interference.

Jeffries argues that the White House knew exactly what happened in the Caribbean — and chose to mislead the American people. His message is clear: the truth is coming out, and accountability is no longer optional.


We explore:
• Why the White House narrative is collapsing
• How Hegseth’s credibility has completely unraveled
• Why both houses of Congress may now be forced into bipartisan investigations
• What this scandal means for U.S. law, international norms, and America’s standing in the world
• How this fits into a larger pattern of deception and chaos inside the administration


If you care about truth, accountability, and stopping reckless abuses of power, this is a story you cannot ignore.

about the Republicans ie: (Mike Johnson) aren't even representing the best interests of their own constituents' health care.

Cowardly Republicans, to avoid being primaried, listen to the felon-in-chief rather than to what their constituents want or need. And I'm certainly one of them since I've been stuck with Stefanik. And I don't see how she could possibly win for governor in a reliably blue state. Not to mention that the last time she made a public appearance - up north in Plattsburg, NY - she was boo'd off the stage!

Finally.......THE DEMOCRATS ARE SPEAKING OUT about how incompetent, inexperienced and UNQUALIFIED the sycophantic Republican congress and Trump appointees ACTUALLY are.

THAT IS RIGHTEOUS ANGER right there, and it's about damn time!

KEEP PLUMMELING THEM, GUYS!
