> The US House voted 211-204 to refer an impeachment resolution against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to the Republican-led Judiciary Committee, effectively halting the effort. Donald Trump praised the vote. Republican lawmaker Thomas Massie accused Hegseth of waging the Iran war without congressional approval and questioned his actions over strikes on Houthi rebels in Yemen and military operations in Venezuela.
