> The US House voted 211-204 to refer impeachment charges against Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth to the House Judiciary Committee, effectively stalling the effort to remove him. Thomas Massie was the only Republican to oppose the motion. The charges include launching a war against Iran without congressional approval and overseeing strikes on vessels accused of drug trafficking.
