"Speaker Johnson Asserts Independence from Trump on Border Deal"

House Speaker Mike Johnson denies that former President Trump is influencing Republican opposition to the Senate border deal, asserting that he is calling the shots for the House. The deal, which aims to address border security and provide aid to Ukraine, has faced criticism from both parties. Johnson also criticized the Biden administration's response to Iranian proxies and defended the House Homeland Security Committee's move to green-light articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
