Stefanik's Clash with Johnson Over Defense Bill Provision Ignites GOP Feud

Elise Stefanik, the New York congresswoman and Chairwoman of House Republican Leadership, recently sparked a public feud with House Speaker Mike Johnson over a key defense bill provision. According to AOL, Stefanik accused Johnson on Tuesday of blocking her measure from the National Defense Authorization Act. That provision would require the Federal Bureau of Investigation to notify federal office candidates if they face investigation in a counterintelligence operation. She tied it to past probes like Crossfire Hurricane and Arctic Frost, calling it essential to protect against deep state abuses. Stefanik posted on X that the bill is dead on arrival without it, siding with Democrat Jamie Raskin against Trump Republicans.

Johnson denied the charge, telling reporters he supports the idea and offered to help resolve it. He said the decision rests with top members of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, following standard bipartisan process for the defense package. A House Republican source cited by AOL noted Raskin threatens to rally Democrats against the bill if the provision stays. House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan backs including it, but Senate involvement remains unclear.

This clash comes as Stefanik eyes her political future. City and State New York reports she dropped her gubernatorial bid after Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman entered the race, and she will not seek reelection to Congress next year. Earlier, she stepped back from a United Nations ambassador nomination to preserve the GOP House majority.

Republican National Committee adviser Danielle Alvarez praised the move on Newsmax, calling Stefanik selfless for prioritizing party and family. As a young mother, Alvarez understands the toll of statewide campaigns, urging focus on defeating Governor Kathy Hochul instead of a bloody primary.

Stefanik remains a staunch Trump ally, having grilled former Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey in 2017 over the Russia probe.
