House Republicans managed to short circuit a floor vote on the impeachment effort brought against the Defense Secretary by Kentucky Republican Thomas Massie.
The House has voted 211 to 204 to refer the articles of impeachment filed against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to committee, effectively killing the impeachment effort spearheaded by Rep. Tuesday's vote short circuits any potential floor vote on the articles of impeachment, and virtually guarantees the measure will not be taken up before the current session of Congress expires.
