The U.S. House does not take a vote on impeaching Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as scheduled, after House leaders move the matter off the current calendar. According to CNBC, leaders decide to leave Washington earlier than planned, preventing an impeachment vote from being held.
Both outlets describe the change as a last-minute scheduling shift. Courthouse News says the House was expected to vote on Thursday on articles of impeachment against Hegseth, but lawmakers are sent home early and remain away until November. The sources frame the decision primarily as a procedural timing issue rather than a change to the underlying consideration of impeachment.
Taken together, the reports indicate that the House Republican leadership manages the schedule for the impeachment process, resulting in a delayed vote and an extended recess. Neither account provides additional details on new evidence, legal arguments, or a revised impeachment timeline beyond lawmakers departing for an extended period.
