Speaker Mike Johnson has made the House Intelligence Committee far friendlier to the MAGA movement, and the adverse consequences are likely to linger.

Speaker Mike Johnson is remaking the House Intelligence Committee in President-elect Donald Trump’s image, a shakeup with immense implications as the president-elect returns to power.

The House Intelligence Committee is being given a makeover, with Republicans who have “more MAGA-friendly credentials” 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.
