House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said conditions should be attached to congressional aid sent to help fight the wildfires in Los Angeles.

While walking through the Capitol, CNN’s Manu Raju asked Johnson whether he believed conditions should be attached to wildfire assistance. Johnson argued that there should be, reasoning that state and local officials showed incompetence in their response.
