US House Republicans Block Hegseth Impeachment Effort

newsbomb.gr (Greek) —

US House Republicans blocked an effort to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, with a 211-204 vote sending the resolution to the Judiciary Committee and preventing a direct vote on the charges. Republican Representative Thomas Massie, who filed eight articles of impeachment accusing Hegseth of constitutional violations regarding Iran and illegal military operations, was the sole Republican joining Democrats in opposing the procedural move. President Donald Trump celebrated the outcome on Truth Social, calling the impeachment attempt a "resounding failure" and praising Republicans while criticizing Massie. The resolution remains under committee review, and Hegseth retains White House support.
