US House blocks bid to impeach Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, for now

The US House of Representatives recently blocked an attempt to impeach Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth. This outcome was welcomed by Donald Trump, who referred to Hegseth as a "Great American Patriot."

However, the possibility of impeachment may resurface. While the current bid was unsuccessful, Democrats reportedly have the option to try again next year. Newly-elected Democrats have indicated that holding the Defence Secretary accountable will be a priority for them in the upcoming Congress.
