Republicans in the House hold impeachment proceedings against Hegseth

The House voted 211 to 204 to refer impeachment charges against Defense Secretary Hegseth to a Republican-led committee, effectively halting Representative Massie's initiative. Massie had previously filed eight charges against Hegseth, accusing him of illegal warfare and abuse of power. Following the Republican defeat in the midterms, Hegseth has faced significant pressure. A vote on Hegseth's position must occur by Wednesday due to the filing of the charges.
