Speaker Mike Johnson Removes Rep. Mike Turner as House Intelligence Committee Chair; Rick Crawford Likely Successor
Jan 16, 2025, 01:51 AM
House Speaker Mike Johnson has removed Representative Mike Turner from his position as chair of the House Intelligence Committee. This decision, confirmed by multiple sources, comes amid concerns regarding Turner's opposition to certain party lines, particularly his support for Ukraine and his vote against a resolution to censure Adam Schiff. Johnson stated that the intelligence community needs a 'fresh start,' emphasizing that this decision was not influenced by former President Donald Trump, despite reports suggesting otherwise. Johnson described the removal as a House decision and praised Turner's past contributions. The announcement of Turner's successor is expected soon, with Representative Rick Crawford being the likely candidate due to his seniority on the committee. Turner's removal has sparked reactions from both sides of the aisle, with some Democrats expressing concern about the implications for national security and oversight.
