House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has added Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) to the House Intelligence Committee.
Johnson made room for Stefanik by expanding the number of seats on the permanent select committee. He also added Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) to the committee, which went from having 25 to 27 members. The move was approved unanimously by the House on June 6.
