House Blocks Hegseth Impeachment

WashingtonThe House shelved Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s impeachment, 211 to 204.

Democrats take control of Congress in January and can try again.

11 Democrats, including Nancy Pelosi, skipped a committee-referral vote that 8 of them could have defeated.

“They know it’s a sinking ship but committed to stay on board,” said Thomas Massie, the only Republican backing impeachment.

House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries will decide whether to revive impeachment once the new Congress sits.
