Elise Stefanik Goes to War with Mike Johnson

“Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) is now engaged in an open war with Speaker Mike Johnson, a very public rift at the highest level of the House Republican Conference,” Punchbowl News reports.

“This fight is ostensibly about a dispute in the NDAA, the annual Pentagon policy bill.”

“Stefanik is so frustrated that she’s prepared to tank the must-pass defense bill — approved by lawmakers every year for more than six decades — if the speaker doesn’t include a provision requiring the FBI to alert Congress if it opens a counterintelligence investigation into an elected official or candidate. Democrats are opposed to this provision.”
