House Speaker Mike Johnson on Wednesday abruptly removed Ohio Republican Mike Turner as chair of the House Intelligence Committee, saying it was time for a “fresh start” during the new Congress. Turner later told CBS the shakeup came due to “concerns from Mar-a-Lago.” Turner is an outspoken military hawk and has advocated for continued U.S. military support to Ukraine. In January of 2021, he broke with his party and voted to certify Joe Biden’s presidential victory.
