House Speaker Mike Johnson booted Rep. Mike Turner as Chairman of the House Intel Committee.<\/p>\n

\u201cSpeaker Mike Johnson has removed Mike Turner as chair House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, three people familiar with the decision tell POLITICO. Turner has been an outspoken advocate for Ukraine funding and other hawkish national security stances.\u201d \u2013 Politico reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tension between Speaker Johnson and Mike Turner has been simmering for nearly a year.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Last February, Mike Turner desperately sounded the alarm about a vague \u2018serious national security threat\u2019 after Speaker Johnson killed a Senate bill with Ukraine aid.<\/p>\n

According to a leak to CNN<\/a>, the threat was supposedly \u201crelated to Russia.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMultiple sources familiar with the intelligence characterized it as \u201cvery sensitive,\u201d CNN reported last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the sources who has seen the intelligence confirmed that \u201cit is, in fact, a highly concerning and destabilizing\u201d Russian capability \u201cthat we were recently made aware of.\u201d\u201d the outlet reported.<\/p>\n

The House Intel Committee made the announcement shortly after Speaker Mike Johnson shut down the Senate aid bill which allocated billions of dollars to Ukraine.<\/p>\n

THE TIMING WAS SUSPICIOUS.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shortly before Mike Turner sounded the alarm on some vague threat, he traveled to Kiev to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe United States is working diligently in the House of Representatives and the Senate to secure the funding that is necessary in 2024,\u201d\u00a0Turner told reporters<\/a> at a presser in Kiev last February.<\/p>\n

After returning from a trip to Kiev, Rep. Mike Turner aggressively pushed Mike Johnson to step it up and bring the Senate aid bill to the floor for a vote ASAP.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to get this done,\u201d\u00a0Mike Turner said<\/a>\u00a0claiming there was not a moment to spare because Ukraine is running out of munitions. \u201cThis is no longer an issue of, \u2018When do we support Ukraine?\u2019 If we do not move, this will be abandoning Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe speaker will need to bring it to the floor,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mike Turner didn\u2019t get his Ukraine funding so he put pressure on Speaker Johnson by urgently announcing there was a national security threat related to Russia.<\/p>\n

It appears Speaker Johnson no longer wants to deal with Mike Turner\u2019s threats and antics so he ousted him as Intel Committee Chair.<\/p>\n
