Stefanik secures FBI investigation provision in defense bill after dispute with Johnson

GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik secured her provision on FBI investigations in the defense bill after a public dispute with Speaker Mike Johnson. The provision requires the FBI to notify Congress when opening counterintelligence investigations into presidential candidates. Stefanik had threatened to block the bill without its inclusion. This resolution eases pressure on Johnson, who faces ongoing party infighting and other legislative challenges.
