Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) is openly clashing with House Speaker Mike Johnson over a provision she claims he blocked from the NDAA—one requiring the FBI to alert Congress when probing political candidates. Once a Trump ally and former GOP conference chair, Stefanik blames Johnson for blocking her nomination and is now threatening to derail the must-pass defense bill over her fight. Her push for transparency stems from her belief that the Russia and Trump probes are politically motivated. With Johnson’s narrow majority, her opposition could be pivotal—will she force a showdown or back down?
