House blocks impeachment push against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth

The U.S. House of Representatives voted to block an attempt to begin impeachment proceedings against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, effectively halting the effort. The chamber voted 211-204 to refer Republican Congressman Thomas Massie's impeachment resolution to the Judiciary Committee, a procedural move that ends the impeachment push until the next Congress, according to The Hill. The White House had officially opposed the impeachment attempt, calling it a "fraudulent, politically motivated" resolution that undermines troops, the Constitution, and national security.
