White House rallies behind Pete Hegseth as embattled War Secretary dodges impeachment

Pete Hegseth has dodged an impeachment vote after House Republicans rallied behind Trump’s embattled war chief.

Lawmakers voted 211-204 to send Thomas Massie’s eight impeachment articles to committee, effectively killing the push for now.

Hegseth blasted the effort as “sabotage” and insisted every military operation cited in the resolution was lawful.

Trump piled on with a glowing defence, giving Hegseth an “A PLUS, PLUS, PLUS” and calling Massie a “TOTAL LOSER.”

Vice President JD Vance also rallied behind Hegseth, arguing the impeachment drive was really about his Pentagon shake-up.

The reprieve is only temporary, with Democrats set to control the House in January and openly discussing a renewed impeachment push.
