Major Shakeup in House Intelligence Committee as Speaker Johnson Ousts Mike Turner

In a surprising move, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has removed Congressman Mike Turner from his position as chairman of the Intelligence Committee. This decision, reportedly influenced by pressures from former President Trump, comes at a tumultuous time as bipartisan support for Ukraine faces increasing scrutiny. Turner, known for his strong backing of aid to Ukraine, cited his removal as a significant shift in the committee’s focus. The ousting has raised concerns among Democrats about the direction of U.S. intelligence policy and military support amidst ongoing global conflicts.
