House votes to effectively end the impeachment effort against Pete Hegseth
NPR reports that the House voted 211 to 204 to refer Rep. Thomas Massie's impeachment articles against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to committee, effectively ending the effort over the Iran war, strikes on drug boats, the capture of Nicolás Maduro, and the treatment of Sen. Mark Kelly. Hegseth defended the operations at a Pentagon press conference, President Trump pledged to stand by him, and Democrats have promised investigations once they take the House majority in January 2027.
