GOP House rejects Hegseth impeachment effort
The 211-204 vote halted a full House impeachment vote and sent eight articles accusing Hegseth of unlawful military actions to committee.
- On Tuesday, the U.S. House voted 211–204 to refer eight articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to the Judiciary Committee, effectively halting the effort for the remainder of the current Congress.
- Republican Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky filed the resolution, alleging Hegseth committed high crimes and misdemeanors through unauthorized military operations in Iran and Yemen and directing extrajudicial killings of suspected drug traffickers.
- Eleven Democrats missed Tuesday's vote, a critical absence that prevented the party from defeating the procedural move. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized the absences, saying, 'That hurts.'
- Dismissing the push as a 'political spectacle' and a 'farce,' Hegseth defended his military operations as lawful during a Pentagon press conference Tuesday, standing behind every operation executed.
- Incoming Democratic leadership signaled plans for fresh investigations and potential new impeachment efforts when they assume control of the House on January 3, suggesting Hegseth's reprieve may be temporary.
