Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has survived a recent impeachment effort by lawmakers, according to a report from CBS News.
The move comes as Republicans are finalising leadership for the next congressional term, a process that has seen a number of high‑profile figures come under scrutiny.
While the specific grounds for the impeachment attempt were not detailed in the brief report, the effort was ultimately unsuccessful, allowing Hegseth to remain in his post.
The story was covered by CBS News reporters Nikole Killion and Olivia Rinaldi, who noted the broader political context surrounding the vote.
With the impeachment effort defeated, Hegseth will continue to oversee the U.S. Department of Defense as the administration moves forward with its defence agenda.
