India, Nov. 11 -- The Republican-controlled US House on Tuesday night blocked an effort to impeach Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, voting instead to send the resolution to a committee.

In a narrow 211-204 vote, lawmakers approved a procedural motion to refer the impeachment resolution to a committee, effectively preventing it from advancing to a debate or vote on the House floor.

The move, strongly backed by Republican leaders, dealt a setback to the measure introduced by GOP Representative Thomas Massie.
