  "account": "The US House of Representatives has rejected a resolution to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The Republican-led House voted 211-204 to refer the allegations to the Judiciary Committee, effectively blocking the move. The impeachment effort, backed by Democrats and led by Republican Representative Thomas Massie, cited Hegseth's handling of his duties and the Iran war. President Donald Trump and Hegseth himself have denied the allegations, with Trump expressing his support for the secretary. The Democrats, who will take control of Congress next year, may try again.",
  "summary": "Almost unanimously, Republicans in the US House of Representatives voted against a move to impeach the Secretary of Defense. This means Hegseth has gained time for the time being.",
