But Greene, who is one of Trump’s biggest supporters in Congress, wants to rebuke Johnson after the passage of a foreign aid package with funds for Ukraine as it fights Russia. Democrats led by Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York had said they would vote to table Greene's effort, essentially saving Johnson's job, for now.
