US House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Mike Turner says speaker Mike Johnson will progress Ukraine aid after 9th April

"The speaker has made it clear that he supports Ukraine both directly to Zelensky. Publicly, he's made these statements and to the Secretary General of NATO. The speaker has made very clear statements that when we get back [on 9th April], it's the next top agenda. After having just passed all the bills that fund the federal government, I believe this is going to have overwhelming support in Congress, and we'll put a bill on the President's desk.", Mr Turner told CBS News.

"I think overall, we're going to get a package that is going to be negotiated with the Senate and the and the White House, so that we have a bill that the President can sign.", he continued.

Meanwhile, Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) acknowledged Sunday the possibility that Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) could lose his position if he moves to hold a vote on aid to Ukraine.

When asked on NBC News’s “Meet the Press” if he believes Johnson could lose the gavel over passing Ukraine aid, Bacon said, “It’s possible, I’m not going to deny it. We have one or two people that are not team players. They’d rather enjoy the limelight, the social media.”

At the same time, Bacon received a “commitment” from Johnson and House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Michael McCaul (R-Texas) that legislation for Ukraine aid will be put on the floor, he said Sunday.

“I’m optimistic we’re going to get this done in two weeks. I just want to ensure it’s bicameral because I don’t want to just send a bill over to the Senate and it doesn’t go anywhere,” he said.
