US House votes against impeachment move targeting Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth

US House votes against impeachment move targeting Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth

What's behind this

House Republicans voted 211‑204 to send articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to the Judiciary Committee, halting the immediate drive. The allegations cited include unauthorized military action, abuse of power and retaliation against a senator, linked to the Iran war. Democrats are expected to revive the effort after taking control of the House and Senate in January. President Donald Trump praised the outcome as an exoneration and criticized Rep. Thomas Massie.
