Rep. Jeff Van Drew, while discussing the possibility of a government shutdown, told Newsmax on Saturday that he just wants to see the House pass "clean bills" on spending.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said Friday that he thinks it is still possible to pass a partisan short-term stopgap measure. Still, the hard-right flank of the House majority has taken control of the discussions, with proposals being floated by Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., and members of the Freedom Caucus.
Meanwhile, McCarthy is showing some signs of agreeing to separate spending into separate bills, said Van Drew, including separating money for Ukraine into a standalone measure, "which I asked him to do."In other matters, Van Drew on Saturday discussed his heated Judiciary Committee exchange with Attorney General Merrick Garland over the propriety of the FBI's investigation into Catholics over claims of extremism.
"He's the attorney general," he added. "He's in charge of his attorney general's office, the FBI, and the Department of Justice. Under this Department of Justice and this FBI, they have committed what I believe are just outrageous acts. This is just one of them."
