House Republicans block move to impeach Hegseth, sending the resolution to committee

Summary

House Republicans blocked a move to advance articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth by sending the resolution to committee, a step that all but kills it at least until the many Democrats elected last week take office next year. Before the vote, Hegseth pushed back against the effort and thanked President Donald Trump for his support as lawmakers prepared to vote on eight articles of impeachment against him. Hegseth cast the move as a politicized attack on US troops and on lawful military operations ordered by Trump.
