Miami, April 11 (EFE).- The president of the US House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, will hold a meeting this Friday with former President Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago residence, in Florida, in the that they will supposedly make an announcement about “electoral integrity,” although the details have not yet been revealed.
The Republican Party has filed two complaints about alleged irregularities with the Wisconsin State Elections Commission, due to insufficiencies of Republican election inspectors in Dane and Milwaukee counties.
The complaints allege that Wisconsin election officials did not hire a sufficient number of Republican election inspectors in both counties, as required by law.
That, “despite having Republican candidates available,” the Republican National Committee (RNC) indicated this Thursday in a statement.
The goal is to denounce “misconduct that reduces confidence in elections” and “force election officials to follow the law and ensure bipartisan access to important election administration positions in the state of Wisconsin,” he details.
The meeting at Mar-a-Lago occurs at a time when Johnson is under pressure from the MAGA (Make America Great Again) movement, the acronym for Trump’s campaign and presidency (2017-2021), led in the Lower House by Trumpist Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Greene introduced a motion last March to remove Johnson as speaker of the US House of Representatives.
The congresswoman is one of the voices that showed her discontent with the approved budget law agreement, which passed the vote in the Lower House with the support of Democrats and a sufficient minority of Republicans.
The purpose of the meeting in Mar-a-Lago would be to launch, according to The Palm Beach Post, an “important announcement on electoral integrity” in view of the presidential elections next November, in which Trump appears as the virtual candidate for the Republican Party.
Johnson and Trump could also address thorny issues such as the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which expires on April 19, a regulation that allows US authorities to monitor the communications of foreigners without a court order.
On Wednesday, Johnson said the House will uphold the law after a thorough review and making sweeping changes and key reforms to the intelligence program to prevent abuses.
