US EditionStefanik gets intelligence provision after call with Trump, Johnson
Rep. Elise Stefanik secured FBI notification requirements in the defense bill after talks with Trump and Johnson, addressing concerns over politically motivated investigations.
- On Wednesday, Rep. Elise Stefanik announced she had gotten her legislative priority back into the NDAA after 24 hours of public disagreement and called it an important step toward good governance.
- One of President Donald Trump's most vocal allies, Stefanik had sought the measure for years and threatened to withhold NDAA support to force its inclusion, warning the bill was `DOA` on X.
- The House Intelligence Committee approved the provision unanimously, requiring the FBI to notify Congress when opening counterintelligence investigations into presidential and federal candidates, with backing from Jim Jordan .
- Agreement temporarily eases pressure on House Speaker Mike Johnson, as the apparent resolution will ease some headache for Johnson, for now, but he still faces troubling morale within the House GOP conference.
- Other thorny subjects remain, including Stefanik signing a petition to force a floor vote on banning congressional stock trading after the White House pulled her U.N. nomination.
