What I would say is that I don't think you should assume the worst. I think you should assume that a member of the government House leader's office was concerned about the news story that was emerging and about ensuring that the Speaker's office was going to react to that, and I think the public record speaks to what ensued. I don't think there is that much distance between ensuring that things were going to get done or reacted to that day and when the Speaker put out a statement, the first statement.
On February 13th, 2024. See this statement in context.
