House Republican Conference Chair Lisa McClain (MI), House Select Intelligence Committee Chair Rick Crawford (R-TX), and Republican House members who are veterans held a news conference on Homeland Security funding and the recent military operations against Iran. Rep. McClain criticized Democrats for voting against DHS funding, while Chair Crawford said President Trump was well within his authorities for the strikes against Iran. When asked about House GOP leadership asking Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) to resign due to an Ethics Committee investigation of allegations made against him related to the death of a former aide he recently admitted to having an affair with, Rep. McClain said, "we didn't ask him to resign … we asked him to withdraw from the race. I would refer you to the statement that leadership put out."
