Republicans Stall Effort To Oust Polarizing Pentagon Chief
The House of Representatives has blocked an effort to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, with Republicans voting to refer eight articles of impeachment to committee, likely stalling the effort. Hegseth had blasted the impeachment push as a farce and delivered a defiant defense of his record, winning praise from President Donald Trump. The move comes as Democrats prepare to take control of Congress next year and may try to revive the impeachment effort. The development was reported by Reuters.
