Pakistan, Nov. 11 -- Republicans in the US House of Representatives blocked an effort to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Tuesday. Furthermore, the GOP-controlled chamber voted 211 to 204 to refer eight articles of impeachment directly to the House Judiciary Committee. Consequently, legislative analysts view the procedural decision as effectively neutralizing immediate efforts to remove the polarizing Pentagon chief. Therefore, Hegseth secured a significant political reprieve before Democrats assume control of Congress following midterm election victories. Ultimately, the successful procedural move shields the defense official from a full chamber floor vote.
