House blocks impeachment bid against Trump's Secretary of War Pete Hegseth

gazetadopovo.com.br (Portuguese) —

The US House of Representatives voted 211-204 on Tuesday to block an impeachment resolution against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, halting the effort brought by Republican Representative Thomas Massie. The procedural maneuver, supported by Republican leadership and White House allies, referred the eight-count resolution to the House Judiciary Committee, removing it from floor consideration. Massie was the only Republican opposing the move, while Democrats sought to keep the impeachment debate active. Hegseth faces accusations of unauthorized military operations in Iran, Venezuela, and Yemen, plus civilian protection concerns. He dismissed the effort as a "political spectacle," with Trump defending him. The resolution will expire in January if not advanced, when Democrats assume House control.
