Speaker Johnson Appoints Trump Loyalists to Intel Committee

House Speaker Mike Johnson has appointed Trump loyalists Reps. Scott Perry and Ronny Jackson to the House Intelligence Committee, granting them oversight of the U.S. intelligence community. Both Perry and Jackson have controversial backgrounds, including Perry's involvement in promoting false election fraud claims and Jackson's demotion following allegations of inappropriate behavior. The appointments have drawn criticism from some Democrats and former Republican congressman Adam Kinzinger, who called the move "insane."
