The House voted Tuesday evening to send the proposed impeachment articles against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to the House Judiciary Committee, effectively quashing an effort to oust Hegseth from his cabinet post. In a 211 to 204 vote, House Republicans sidestepped an effort proposed by Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky to impeach Hegseth. Massie charged that Hegseth was negligent and conducted illegal activity in his handling of counternarcotics operations and extrajudicial killings in the Caribbean and Pacific; attacking Iran in February without congressional approval; retaliating against Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., for the veteran lawmaker’s statements to troops on illegal orders; capturing Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro without a declaration of war; and other operations.
