The House Intelligence Committee is being given a makeover, with Republicans who are seen as more MAGA friendly replacing some other GOP members.
The committee was seen as one of the last bastions of old-school Republicanism in Congress before Trump ordered a reshuffle. The president-elect “personally got involved” in getting rid of Intelligence chair Mike Turner, a GOP lawmaker told the Daily Beast. Turner told his colleagues that Trump ordered House Speaker Mike Johnson to remove him in an act of personal revenge, sources told the Beast. The New York Times characterized the move as Johnson “bowing to Trump.”
