Johnson expands size of Intelligence panel to give Stefanik spot

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) is back on the House Intelligence Committee after Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) opted to expand the size of the panel — the latest fallout from President Trump’s decision to withdraw the New York Republican’s nomination to be U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

The House on Friday approved, through unanimous consent, changing the chamber’s rules to allow no more than 27 members to sit on the House Intelligence Committee — up from no more than 25 members.
