HOUSE REPUBLICANS BLOCK PETE HEGSETH IMPEACHMENT EFFORT AS DEFENSE SECRETARY DISMISSES MOVE AS POLITICAL SPECTACLE
House Republicans have blocked an effort to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth by voting 211 to 204 to send Republican Rep. Thomas Massie’s impeachment resolution to committee, effectively ending the effort for the current Congress. Massie was the only Republican to oppose the procedural move, while all Democrats present joined him, although 11 Democrats were absent. Hegseth dismissed the allegations as a political spectacle and argued that lawmakers were attempting to turn policy disagreements over the Iran war and other military operations into impeachable offenses.
