The House of Representatives decided the fate of Pete Hegseth

The House of Representatives voted to send impeachment charges against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to the Judiciary Committee, effectively halting the impeachment process initiated by Republican Thomas Massie. The vote passed with 211 in favor and 204 against, with only Massie opposing among Republicans. President Trump expressed satisfaction with the outcome, labeling the Democrats' impeachment attempt a failure. Some Democrats missed the vote due to traffic issues while returning from a meeting. Future House leader Hakeem Jeffries supports impeachment, but the Democrats will likely have insufficient votes in the Senate to convict Hegseth. Massie's impeachment articles include accusations related to military actions in Iran and Yemen.
