‘It’s possible’ Johnson could lose speakership over Ukraine



Rep. Don Bacon on Sunday warned that “it’s possible” that Speaker Mike Johnson could face a vote to oust him if he moves to pass Ukraine aid in the House.

“I’m not going to deny it,” Bacon, R-Neb., said when asked by NBC News’ “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker whether it’s possible Johnson could lose his speakership over Ukraine aid.

“We have one or two people that are not team — they’re not team players. They’d rather enjoy the limelight, the social media,” Bacon added, though he did not name any members.

“It’s a very narrow majority, and one or two people can make us a minority,” he said.

Bacon favors some support for Ukraine and highlighted his partnership with Reps. Jared Golden, D-Maine, Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., and Ed Case, D-Hawaii, on a Ukraine aid bill.

“We put a bill together that focuses on military aid — a $66 billion bill that provides military aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan,” Bacon told Welker, calling for a “bicameral, bipartisan solution.”

“If we do this bill, and I think we will, there’s enough support in the House to get this done. And, and I want to make sure that we have support in the Senate,” Bacon said.

House to send DHS Secretary Mayorkas’ impeachment to Senate on April 10, Speaker Mike Johnson says


WASHINGTON — Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., notified Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., on Thursday that the House will send impeachment articles against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to the upper chamber on April 10.

Johnson and 11 GOP-appointed impeachment managers said in a letter to Schumer that they will present the “duly passed articles of impeachment” the House passed against Mayorkas on that day, when the Senate will be back in session. 

“We urge you to schedule a trial of the matter expeditiously,” the letter to Schumer said. 

The GOP-controlled House voted to impeach Mayorkas on Feb. 13 for “high crimes and misdemeanors, including his willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law and his breach of the public trust,” the letter said. 

“The evidence on both charges is clear, comprehensive, and compelling,” they added. Mayorkas is the second Cabinet member to be impeached in U.S. history after William Belknap, who was the secretary of war under then-President Ulysses S. Grant.

They argued that Mayorkas violated U.S. immigration laws and is “responsible for releasing millions of illegal aliens into the interior and creating unlawful mass-parole programs.” The lawmakers also accused the DHS secretary of lying to Congress and the public “about the scope of the crisis and his role in it.” 

Referring to the migrant situation at the U.S.-Mexico border, Johnson and the impeachment managers said Americans “demand a secure border, an end to this crisis, and accountability for those responsible.”

NBC News has reached out to Schumer’s office for comment.

This is a developing story.

Ohio man convicted of abuse of corpse and evidence tampering 13 years after Kentucky teenager Paige Johnson disappeared


An Ohio man has been convicted of abuse of a corpse and evidence tampering in the case of a Kentucky teenager whose body was found in Ohio a decade after she disappeared.

Jurors in Clermont County deliberated for more than nine hours over two days before convicting 35-year-old Jacob Bumpass last week of both charges he faced in the death of 17-year-old Paige Johnson of Florence, Kentucky. Defense attorneys immediately vowed to appeal the verdict and seek a new trial.

Johnson’s remains were found in 2020 by a hiker in East Fork State Park, about 20 miles east of Cincinnati, near the area investigators had searched after the teen disappeared in September 2010. A cause of death was never determined.

Authorities had questioned Bumpass, a friend, at the time and believed he was the last person to have seen her alive. Prosecutors cited DNA evidence and records indicating that the defendant’s phone was pinged by a cell tower just over a mile away from where the body was found and then by one near a bridge leading back to northern Kentucky.

Defense attorney Louis Sirkin posed the idea that Johnson’s body was planted in the East Fork Lake area sometime after her disappearance, saying that if her remains were there all along they would have been spotted by workers at a nearby farm and people who used the area for illegal dumping.

From the time they were found and through the trial, Paige Johnson’s remains were kept under lock and key as evidence, CBS affiliate WKRC reported.

The station asked Paige Johnson’s mother, Donna Johnson, what it will be like now that the family will finally receive Paige’s remains.

“It has been a long wait, and [not having her remains] has been very hard. Like I said, the joy and the happiness, being able to bring her home finally and give her what she deserves after having to wait all this time is a feeling I can’t really describe. But it’s just like, I get to bring my baby home and give her the dignity that she has deserved,” Donna Johnson said.

“I will always want to know what happened. I don’t think he’s ever gonna tell us,” she said. “This sadness will stay with me forever.”

Bumpass is scheduled for sentencing Sept. 7.
