NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene retweeted a post that supposedly details the supplemental spending bills that Speaker Mike Johnson is to propose to the House this week, on Monday, April 15.

Greene claimed to have no prior knowledge of the specifics and said that if the leak was true, Johnson had worked out the plan without consulting the House GOP.

Leaked foreign aid plan

The tweet shared by Greene contained the image of a printed copy of the 'leak', and the accompanying post details, "Speaker Johnson’s foreign aid plan has reportedly 'leaked.' The terms are purportedly as follows." The entire plan amounts be $95.34 billion, "roughly 60% of which goes directly into the DIB."

The first bill mentioned is worth $48.43 billion for Ukraine, which comprises $19.85 billion replenishment of stocks to DOD, $14.8 billion for DOD ops in EUCOME AOR, $13.8 billion in USAl for Ukraine to purchase US weapons, and $8 million for IG, as well as $7.85 billion direct support to Ukraine government.

Israel is earmarked for $14.1 billion, divided into $4 billion for missile defense (Iron Dome and David's Sling), $1.2 billion for Iron Beam, $4 billion replenishment of stocks to DOD, $3.5 billion in FMS for Israel to purchase US weapons, and $800 million for ammunition plant improvements.

Red Sea Operations is to get $2.4 billion, to be used "for operations, force protection, and the replacement of combat expenditures."

A sum of $2.58 billion is kept for INDOPACOM, which breaks down to 1.9 billion replenishment of stocks to DOD, 542 million to INDOPACOM UPL, and 133 million to enhance cruise missile components.

A submarine industrial base is seen at the end of the page costing $3.3 billion for "investment in dry dock construction, etc, in support of SIB and AUKIS."

The US Representative from Georgia wrote in her post, "If this is it, you know more than we do. If you paid your taxes today, you can see how Speaker Johnson is planning to spend it without asking the rest of us."

"I told him to demand Schumer hold the Senate impeachment trial of Mayorkas and vote on HR2 border security. He said he can’t," she added.
