Quick Summary

The House of Representatives held a preliminary vote on Tuesday evening to decide whether to advance articles of impeachment against War Secretary Pete Hegseth, filed by Kentucky GOP Rep. Thomas Massie. These articles accuse Hegseth of illegally launching the war in Iran and killing civilians through boat strikes targeting suspected drug-smugglers in the Caribbean. The vote, which was livestreamed, determined whether to block the resolutions or refer them to committee; it took place at 5:30 p.m. Eastern time.

Story summary

Pete Hegseth, Defense Secretary, narrowly avoided impeachment on November 11, 2026, after a majority in the House of Representatives voted against referring impeachment articles to a committee. The move was led by Republican Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky, who accused Hegseth of waging war on Iran without congressional authorization and executing unlawful military orders. Despite widespread criticism following Republican losses in the midterm elections largely due to Trump's Iran war, President Donald Trump continued to support Hegseth, stating he is "doing a great job." The failure of the impeachment measure was attributed to solidarity among House Republicans and concerns that punishing military leadership for lawful operations could endanger national security.
