Republicans in the US
House of Representatives banded together on Tuesday to derail an
effort to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
The chamber voted 211 to 204 in favor of a motion to refer
the impeachment charges to the Republican-led House Judiciary
Committee, effectively stopping the effort to impeach Hegseth
sponsored by Kentucky Republican Representative Thomas Massie.
Massie was the only Republican who voted against the motion.
