Rep. Steve Scalise, the number two House Republican, denied leaking audio of talking about after the Jan. 6th insurrection and called it a political distraction in an election year. Scalise, who would be frontrunner for speaker if Republicans win the House this fall and McCarthy's bid flames out due to his comments on Trump, said neither he nor his staff was behind the leak audio, which revealed McCarthy did actually make comments about Trump's responsibility for the insurrection - comments the GOP leader had denied making. 'Neither he nor anyone on his team recorded or leaked private conversations among members,' a Scalise spokesperson said.
