This followed a public disagreement between the two over the amendment’s removal, allegedly at the behest of Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD). > “After a productive discussion I had last night with President Trump and Speaker Johnson, the provision requiring Congressional disclosure when the FBI opens counterintelligence investigations into presidential and federal candidates seeking office will be included in the IAA/NDAA bill on the floor,” Stefanik wrote in a December 3 post on X (formerly Twitter). “This is a significant legislative win delivered against the illegal weaponization of the deep state.”
