PM’s speech kept from White House to avoid ‘interference’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHouse Speaker John Boehner says the White House might have tried to quash his plan to have Netanyahu speak to Congress if it had gotten wind of the invitation.
Boehner says that is why he made the offer without letting the White House know in advance.
Boehner was asked by “Fox News Sunday” why he told Ron Dermer, Israel’s ambassador to the United States, not to mention the invitation to the White House in advance.
Boehner says he “wanted to make sure that there was no interference.”
