After the Trump administration announced its decision to investigate Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell, House Speaker Mike Johnson defended the president's actions while talking to reporters, even as other members of the Republican party condemn them.
Johnson told reporters that "if the investigation is warranted, then they'll have to play that out," but added he had not reviewed Powell's testimony and said it was "not really my lane," positioning himself as broadly deferential to prosecutors without endorsing any of the underlying allegations behind the investigation.
