LIVE: Hegseth Impeachment Defeated in House as Republicans Vote 211-204 to Block Massie’s Effort
Pete Hegseth impeachment showdown ends in a House setback for Thomas Massie as Republicans vote 211–204 to block an immediate impeachment vote against the Defense Secretary. Massie’s eight articles of impeachment were referred to the House Judiciary Committee, a procedural decision that effectively stops the current effort from advancing.
Massie had accused Hegseth of abusing his powers over the Iran war, military operations in Venezuela and other alleged violations. The Kentucky Republican criticised his colleagues after the vote, saying they were choosing to remain aboard a sinking ship. With no Republicans joining Massie against the referral, the impeachment push has suffered a major setback. Follow the House reactions, Massie’s response and the political implications for Hegseth and the Trump administration.
