U.S. Republicans derail bid to impeach Hegseth

U.S. Republicans derail bid to impeach Hegseth

What's behind this

The U.S. House voted 211‑204 to send eight articles of impeachment against Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth to the Judiciary Committee, halting the immediate drive but leaving open the possibility of a revival by Democrats after they take control in January. The narrow vote, in which only one Republican opposed, was led by Republican leaders and backed by White House officials, quashing a bid sponsored by Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie and framed as a victory for President Donald Trump following the party’s recent midterm setbacks and amid criticism over the Iran war.
