House Republicans on Tuesday opposed the impeachment of US Secretary of War Pete Guest.
The House voted 211-204 to refer impeachment charges against Hoggest to the Republican-controlled House Judiciary Committee. According to the Reuters news agency, this action effectively stopped the attempt of Thomas Massey, the Republican representative of the state of Kentucky, to impeach the Secretary of War.
Donald Trump, the president of the United States, announced on Monday his support for Hagest.
