House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) pushed back on House Republicans‘ criticism over getting “rolled” by House Democrats over a provision of the annual defense authorization bill, saying that “all of that is false.”

Johnson’s remarks follow Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), chairwoman of House Republican leadership, blasting him for allowing Democrats to remove an amendment to the Intelligence Authorization Act, which is part of the National Defense Authorization Act. The amendment would require congressional notice if the FBI opens investigations into presidential and federal candidates.
