GOP House rejects Hegseth impeachment effort
House Republicans used a procedural vote to block Thomas Massie’s eight-count impeachment resolution against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
- On Tuesday, the House voted 211 to 204 to refer an impeachment resolution against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to committee, effectively blocking the effort led by Kentucky Republican Thomas Massie.
- Massie filed eight articles of impeachment accusing Hegseth of waging unauthorized war in Iran, ignoring laws to minimize civilian casualties, and directing "extrajudicial killings" in counternarcotics operations off Venezuela.
- Eleven Democrats skipped the vote, providing enough numbers to have flipped the outcome had they attended, while Massie stood as the only Republican voting against shelving the measure.
- House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries declared "Hegseth has got to go," yet President Donald Trump continues to "stand by" his Pentagon chief despite calling him "one of the guys most responsible" for election losses.
- Democrats could potentially renew impeachment efforts when they assume control of Congress in January, as Republicans shielded Hegseth following voter discontent about the Iran war that cost them midterm seats.
