US House blocks Hegseth impeachment resolution, sending it back to committee

bluewin.ch (French) —

US lawmakers voted Tuesday to send an impeachment resolution against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth back to committee, effectively blocking the procedure that could have led to his removal. The resolution will not face a vote this week as Democrats and the Republican lawmaker who introduced it had hoped. Hegseth faces criticism over his handling of the war in Iran and military operations ordered by President Donald Trump. Democrats, who won the midterm elections, could revive the measure in January when they regain control of Congress.
