The US House of Representatives has rejected an impeachment proceeding against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, according to a news blog update. Republican Representative Thomas Massie had filed the impeachment resolution amid pressure on Hegseth following the Republican midterm defeat and the Iran war. Removing him would require a two-thirds Senate majority. Hegseth stated at a press conference that the impeachment effort will fail and that no defense secretary has been removed from office. He also commented on Venezuela, Iran, and comparable cases.
