House rejects Hegseth impeachment effort

The impeachment proceedings against US Defense Secretary Hegseth have failed in the House of Representatives. Republicans voted nearly unanimously against the motion, which was supported by Democrats. The initiative was brought by Republican Representative Massie but was rejected by his own party colleagues. The vote effectively ends the impeachment effort for now, with the Republican majority blocking the Democratic-backed push. The failed vote represents a significant victory for Hegseth and the Republican leadership. It highlights the partisan divide in Congress over the defense secretary's conduct, though the matter could potentially be revisited in the future.
