He believes the prior administration engaged in “abuses of the programs.”
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson said he “fully” supports President Trump’s decision to pause federal grant and loan programs.
“I don’t think this is a major interruption of programming,” Speaker Johnson said, stating that the pause was necessary to properly assess the use of government funding.
“The Biden administration engaged in a lot of abuses of the programs,” the House speaker added. “We have to make sure that is not continuing, so this is the appropriate thing for a new administration to do.”
Speaker Johnson also addressed accusations that he is operating as a “yes man” for President Donald Trump, saying that he expresses his criticisms of the president in private with his peers to present a unified front.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For discernment for Speaker Johnson and leadership in the House of Representatives.
- For the president and his incoming administration officials as they take action and make policy decisions.
