Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene continues to dangle the threat of ousting House Speaker Mike Johnson, warning that she's 'watching what happens' on Ukraine funding and the reauthorization of FISA.
Washington — A roughly hourlong meeting with House Speaker Mike Johnson on Wednesday did little to convince Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to drop her threat of forcing a vote that could end his speakership. 'I got a lot of excuses,' Greene, a Georgia Republican, told reporters after she met with Johnson on Wednesday afternoon, their first conversation since she filed a resolution nearly three weeks ago to oust him. 'We didn't walk out with a deal.
'I did not give him a red line,' Greene said, while noting she is 'watching what happens' on Ukraine funding and the reauthorization of FISA, a powerful and controversial spy authority that allows warrantless surveillance of foreigners but can also sweep up the communications of Americans. Greene said Johnson also floated a 'kitchen Cabinet group' to advise him and asked if she was interested in being part of it.
