"Trump and Top Republicans Address Election Integrity and FISA Concerns"

Former President Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson will hold a news conference together, focusing on "election integrity," following the House's passage of a FISA bill. Johnson, facing challenges to his speakership, has found common ground with Trump on election integrity and border security. Their relationship has deepened since Johnson's involvement in Trump's first impeachment trial and his support for Trump's election challenges. Johnson's ongoing support of Trump has earned him the former president's backing, and the two are in frequent communication. Trump's influence was evident in the House's handling of the FISA bill, and far-right members are closely watching Johnson's approach to Ukraine funding.
