The US House has blocked the impeachment of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, voting 211 to 204 to send the articles to committee.
Republican Thomas Massie of Kentucky, who brought the eight articles, was the only member of his party to vote against the referral. Eleven Democrats, including former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, did not vote. President Donald Trump called the effort a miserable failure and an exoneration, while Democrats could try again next year when they take control of Congress.
