TL;DR Summary

House Republicans, influenced by former President Donald Trump, descended into chaos as right-wing lawmakers derailed a vote on a controversial spying law, dealing a significant blow to House Speaker Mike Johnson. The move effectively froze the House and left the legislation in limbo, with conservative hardliners expressing frustration at Johnson's leadership.

Trump's involvement and comments further exacerbated the House GOP's paralysis, with some members expressing preference for his advice over Johnson's.
