U.S. Representative Mike Turner said on Wednesday he will no longer serve as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee after nearly two years. According to media reports, U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson removed Turner from the role.

Rep. Rick Crawford (R-AR) was seen as next in line to take over the chairmanship from Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH).

Representative Michael R. Turner, Republican of Ohio, had at times been critical of the president-elect. He told people that he was removed after an edict from Mar-a-Lago.
