House sends Hegseth impeachment resolution to committee

The US House voted 211–204 to refer the impeachment resolution against Defense Chief Pete Hegseth to committee, halting the immediate push. Saudi Gazette and Asharq News report that the resolution’s sponsor, Rep. Thomas Massie, accused Hegseth of issuing unlawful orders, including in connection with the Iran war and rules on civilian casualties. Hegseth characterized the charges as a policy dispute rather than high crimes and misdemeanors. The referral did not adjudicate the allegations, and Asharq News says further efforts may follow.
