Former President Donald Trump told and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on a private call to relax the rhetoric on ousting Johnson in an effort to show unity.
Publicly, Trump has praised Johnson’s leadership and has said he is opposed to motions to vacate the speaker. Now in private, Trump told Greene not to proceed with her threats to oust Johnson.“But everybody is trying to pretend like there’s a problem between us,” Greene said. “And I’m going to tell you right now: There is not.”
“I have it under very, very good sources that President Trump did engage,” Zinke said. “And I’m hoping that perhaps one would come to the conclusion: ‘You made your point. But don’t be Kamikaze, because if you go for this, you’re going to get beaten down. And he made that point. I’m hoping that’s the outcome.”
On Tuesday, Johnson and Greene will be meeting to discuss ways to defund special counsel Jack Smith in appropriations bills for fiscal 2025, which could risk a government shutdown just before the November election.
