House Republicans have blocked an effort to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, delivering a political victory to President Donald Trump’s administration.
The House voted 211-204 on Tuesday to send the impeachment resolution back to committee, effectively ending the effort during the current Congress. Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, who introduced the measure, was the only GOP lawmaker to oppose the move.

Massie accused Hegseth of defying Congress and unlawfully continuing US military operations against Iran. The administration rejected the allegations. Vice President JD Vance called the impeachment effort unjustified and criticised lawmakers for using it as a political spectacle.
According to Axios, Republican leaders sought to avoid a divisive vote ahead of Election Day. Democrats are expected to revisit the issue when they regain congressional majorities in January, the report said.
