The U.S. House of Representatives has voted to block an effort to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. This legislative action effectively halts the impeachment proceedings against the cabinet official.
Republicans in the House successfully turned back the bid, using their majority to prevent the impeachment process from advancing. The vote comes as the GOP maintains control of the chamber.
The decision means the impeachment effort against Secretary Hegseth has been stopped, at least for the immediate future. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
