House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said he was “very hopeful” that government shutdowns would be avoided amid the upcoming January 19 and February 2 deadlines and that he was not ruling out a continuing resolution. He also said he was not concerned about House Republicans removing him as speaker amid his spending deal with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY). As this news conference occurred, hearings were held to hold Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress and to begin impeachment proceedings against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Speaker Johnson said that Mr. Biden’s surprise appearance at his hearing did not change the fact that he defied a congressional subpoena, and that Secretary Mayorkas was the “leading perpetrator” of illegal immigration at the border. Finally, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) announced that a congressional investigation would happen into Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s “dereliction of duty” to report his hospitalization to President Biden. close
