US Senate blocks impeachment vote on defence secretary, delaying trial

The Senate voted 211-204 to refer the impeachment motion against the US Defence Secretary to committee, effectively shelving proceedings until at least January. Republican initiators of the move argued the official was conducting unauthorised operations with Tehran, while supporters of the delay suggest the reprieve will be temporary. The vote represents a temporary reprieve for the defence secretary amid political tensions.
