WASHINGTON, Nov 10 (Reuters) – Republicans in the US House of Representatives banded together on Tuesday to derail an effort to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
The chamber voted 211 to 204 in favor of a motion to refer the impeachment charges to the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee, effectively stopping the effort to impeach Hegseth sponsored by Kentucky Republican Representative Thomas Massie.
Massie was the only Republican who voted against the motion.
