In an exclusive interview with Meet the Press, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) says he cannot commit to disaster relief for California’s wildfires without strings attached, citing “foolish policy decisions” that should be evaluated before providing funding.

A number of Republicans are calling for conditions to any federal aid that goes to California as the state struggles with catastrophic wildfires.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) argued that there should be conditions on wildfire aid, reasoning that state and local officials showed incompetence in their response.
