U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson named Representative Rick Crawford on Thursday to chair the House intelligence committee, the latest promotion of an ally of President-elect Donald Trump to a key national security post.

The speaker replaced a Republican who had criticized the president-elect and broken with him on key issues, and who had drawn the ire and suspicion of those close to the president-elect.

Arkansas Rep. Rick Crawford will chair the House Intelligence Committee, Speaker Mike Johnson announced Thursday, succeeding Ohio Republican Michael R. Turner whom the speaker removed a day earlier. Crawford is the most senior Republican on the panel in the 118th Congress who’s still serving.
