House Republicans stall effort to impeach Defense Secretary Hegseth

The House rejected a resolution to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, halting an effort led by Republican Thomas Massie and backed by Democrats. Republicans largely stood by Hegseth after President Donald Trump voiced support for him. Democrats, including House leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate leader Chuck Schumer, supported impeachment over Hegseth’s conduct and handling of the war in Iran, the Associated Press reported.
