Washington — Republican Rep. Mike Turner of Ohio was removed from his position atop the powerful House Intelligence Committee on Wednesday, telling CBS News that House Speaker Mike Johnson fired him, citing "concerns from Mar-a-Lago." Turner also confirmed Wednesday night that he had been removed from the committee entirely.
Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, denied that the decision came from President-elect Donald Trump.
"This is a House decision," he said. "This is no slight whatever to our outgoing chairman."
Johnson said he was "a Mike Turner fan" and "he did a great job" leading the committee that oversees the intelligence community, but added that the panel "needs a fresh start."
"That's what this is about, nothing else," he said.
