Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene met with Speaker Mike Johnson as she continues to openly discuss her motion to vacate the chair.

Greene (R-Ga.) said following the meeting that Johnson made “a lot of excuses” and that the speaker gave her no guarantees on how he would proceed on foreign aid and a controversial surveillance program.

She said he floated the idea of a Cabinet of advisers though she wouldn’t commit to supporting that idea.

“I said ‘I’ll wait and see what his proposal is on that.’ Right now, he does not have my support, and I’m watching what happens with FISA and Ukraine,” she said after the meeting, referring to the reauthorization of the controversial surveillance program, known as section 702, currently before the House.

Before the speaking meeting, Greene also said she spoke with former President Donald Trump on Tuesday prior to the presumptive Republican nominee urging House Republicans to kill an extension of the surveillance tool.
