podrobnosti.ua (Ukrainian) —

The US House of Representatives, controlled by Republicans, blocked an impeachment initiative against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The vote was 211 against and 204 in favor. Republican Thomas Massie, the sole GOP member to vote with Democrats, initiated the impeachment over eight articles. He expressed disappointment but not surprise at the outcome, citing dissatisfaction among some Republicans over the nine-month Iran war. Massie said he will not pursue impeachment again. President Donald Trump called Massie a "loser" and defended Hegseth, citing operations in Venezuela and Iran. Hegseth compared the accusations to previous impeachment attempts against Trump.
