Trump Loyalists Appointed to House Intelligence Panel

“Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Wednesday appointed Reps. Scott Perry (R-PA) and Ronny Jackson (R-TX), two Trump loyalists who denied the results of the 2020 election, to the House Intelligence Committee, granting them oversight of the U.S. intelligence community and sensitive government material,” the Washington Post reports.

“Seats on the committee are highly sought after in Congress and closely watched, as members have access to some of the nation’s most classified information and are charged with overseeing the spy agencies — including the intelligence gathering within the FBI — which former president Donald Trump has routinely expressed disdain for.”
