nur.kz (Russian) —

The U.S. House of Representatives blocked an attempt to initiate impeachment proceedings against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, according to NUR.KZ citing C-SPAN. During the vote, 211 lawmakers supported sending the impeachment resolution to the House Judiciary Committee, effectively preventing its consideration, while 204 members voted to reject that procedural move and proceed directly to an impeachment vote. President Donald Trump announced the failure on Truth Social, stating every Republican except Thomas Massie voted in support of Hegseth. Trump accused Democrats of abusing power for political purposes. Congressman Massie had raised eight accusations against Hegseth related to military operations and alleged legal violations.
