What's behind this
US House Republicans on Tuesday voted 211‑204 to send the articles of impeachment against Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth to the Judiciary Committee, effectively halting the immediate drive. The move gives Hegseth a reprieve before Democrats are expected to take control of the House and Senate in January and potentially revive the effort.

President Donald Trump praised the outcome as an “exoneration” and a political victory, calling the decision a triumph for a “great American patriot.”
