Daily Mirror reports that House Republicans on Tuesday prevented an immediate move to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Rupavahini News says lawmakers instead sent the proposal to a committee for further review, delaying a full House vote.

Rupavahini News reports that Republican Representative Thomas Massie introduced the proposal and that referral passed by 211 votes to 204. It says Massie was the only Republican voting against referral, alongside Democrats, and that 11 Democratic members did not attend the vote.

Rupavahini News reports that the measure set out eight allegations, including military action against Iran without congressional approval, attacks on ships in the Caribbean and strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen.

Rupavahini News reports that Hegseth characterized the effort at a Pentagon media briefing as a political action intended to interfere with military activity and operations he described as lawful. Daily Mirror reports that Democrats may try again after assuming control of Congress next year.
