ScoopTrump's protectors push Johnson for House vote
"House conservatives are pressuring Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) for a vote on legislation aimed at showing their allegiance to former President Trump after his historic criminal conviction, Axios has learned.
Why it matters: Trump's House allies are prepping a full-throttled defense of the ex-president, including going after the Justice Department — a move that could put the party's vulnerable members in a difficult spot.
Conservatives want a floor vote on a bill that would allow current or former presidents to move any state case brought against them — such as the one in New York that resulted in Trump's conviction — to federal court, according to multiple House Republican sources.
Meanwhile, Johnson told Republicans in a conference meeting Tuesday that the House GOP will target DOJ through attempts at increased oversight, funding cuts and other means, according to a source in the room."
