US House rejects impeachment of Defense Secretary Hegseth

srf.ch (German) —

The US House of Representatives has rejected a motion to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, ending the attempt to remove him from office. The impeachment effort failed in the House, meaning no formal proceedings will be initiated against Hegseth. The vote comes less than a week after the midterm elections, in which Republicans lost control of the chamber. Following the election defeat, President Donald Trump has questioned the results and called on the Justice Department under Todd Blanche to investigate Democrats. The midterms on November 3 filled all 435 House seats and 35 Senate seats.
