Fox News
Former President Trump is expected to come to Capitol Hill next week as the House of Representatives prepare to elect a new speaker, following the ouster of Rep. Kevin McCarthy, Fox News Digital has learned.
Another source told Fox News Digital that the plans to travel to Washington D.C. on Tuesday will not impact the former president’s campaign stop in New Hampshire on Monday. That visit will be his first visit back to the lead-off presidential primary state in two months. Brooke Singman is a Fox News Digital politics reporter.

McCarthy, R-Calif., was removed as speaker of the House Tuesday after Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., introduced a measure against him known as a motion to vacate, accusing him of breaking promises he made to win the speaker's gavel in January.
Lawmakers voted to oust McCarthy Tuesday from the speakership for the first time in the history of the House of Representatives.
