THE BARE STORY
The House voted Tuesday to refer an impeachment resolution concerning Pete Hegseth to the Judiciary Committee, in a 211-204 procedural vote. The measure, introduced by Representative Thomas Massie, will expire when the 119th Congress ends on Jan. 3, according to the House’s timetable described by lawmakers.
Eleven Democrats and seven Republicans did not vote during the 29-minute roll call. Several of the absent Democrats said they were delayed by a traffic incident and police escort near the Capitol, while others cited travel or a medical procedure. Some members later entered their intended votes into the Congressional Record, which did not change the certified result.
Several Democrats have indicated they may seek further impeachment articles after taking control of the House in January, including over Hegseth’s handling of military aid to Ukraine. Massie said he could not substantiate allegations that Hegseth improperly withheld the assistance. Hegseth did not comment on the matter.
