Republican-led House of Representatives kills Hegseth impeachment effort

On November 10, House Republicans blocked an impeachment effort against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, a move seen as a win for President Trump following the midterm elections. The House voted 211 to 204 to send the impeachment resolution to the Judiciary Committee, effectively halting a planned vote on formal charges. The resolution, introduced by Republican Thomas Massie, accused Hegseth of illegal military actions and abuse of power. Hegseth dismissed the impeachment as a farce, while Trump and Vice President JD Vance expressed their support for him. Although the immediate impeachment effort is stalled, Democrats may revive it after taking control of Congress in January.
