US House blocks impeachment resolution against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth

rtbf.be (French) — November 11, 2026 at 09:01 AM UTC

US House members voted 211-204 to send an impeachment resolution against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth back to committee, effectively blocking the procedure. Only Republican Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky joined Democrats in opposing the move. The resolution will not face a floor vote this week as Democrats had hoped. Democrats could revive the impeachment effort in January when they regain House majority following their midterm election victory. President Donald Trump celebrated the outcome, reaffirming support for Hegseth as a "great patriot." The Pentagon spokesman called the impeachment attempt "baseless," while Hegseth dismissed it as a "political stunt." Hegseth has been marginalized since the Republican midterm defeat, with Trump and Vice President JD Vance blaming the Iran offensive for their electoral loss.
