House Republicans are “looking very intently” at defunding the office of special counsel Jack Smith, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said on May 7.
At a House Republican leadership press conference, the speaker was asked whether that option was being considered given his opposition to Mr. Smith’s prosecution of former President Donald Trump.
