Politico reports the House could vote this week on impeachment articles against
Defense Secretary Hegseth. Even if approved, Speaker Johnson could refuse to
transmit the articles to the Senate before the current Congress ends,
potentially delaying any Senate trial until next year’s Congress if Democrats
control both chambers. Johnson declined to commit to transmitting the articles,
saying he will follow House rules and that he expects the measure will not pass
the House. The impeachment was filed by Rep. Thomas Massie and has
near-unanimous Democratic support.
