At the center of the controversy is an elusive 3-page document, first reported by Punchbowl News, laying out the agreements.Some Republicans insist that, regardless of what may or may not be floating around on paper, there is little outstanding mystery to the deal. The vast majority of it, they say, has already been widely reported.

“The contours of the conversations that the speaker had with members last week … I don’t think there is anything groundbreaking in there. I think it’s been talked about a lot,” Rep. Dusty Johnson told Axios last week. Elements of the deal include conservative representation on key committees, a plan to balance the budget in 10 years and a commitment to vote on term limits and other right-wing initiatives.

I only wish God damn them all

Real problem I see is that the at RNCResearch or GOPChairwoman do not know how to answer this question I wonder if pnjaban knows. I really don't think any of them do because this message should have been answered weeks ago. The GOP does not know now to control the message.

They need to devote more time to spinning Biden documents saga.

Tell the truth McCarthy! You're representing the ppl, we have a right to know!

the WH is doing what you should be doing cuz you regard it as 'picking a fight'

He doesn't have to do anything... what happened and what was said and any deal between them its there business not the white house
