Motion To Oust McCarthy Found In House Restroom

Talk about a leak. Some House Republican is likely shuffling around the halls of the U.S. Capitol missing their draft resolution to oust Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House, because that’s exactly what was found on a baby-changing table in a bathroom under the House floor on Tuesday.

The folded motion was discovered by Matt Laslo, an independent journalist, who posted about the find to X.
