The top Republican on the House Armed Services Committee revealed on Monday that the White House has been warned that outgoing President Donald Trump's veto of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) could be overturned by Congress.
Rep. Mac Thornberry (R-TX) told reporters on a Monday press call that "the message has been conveyed to the White House" that Republicans will likely override Trump's veto.
The president has threatened to veto the NDAA if it does not include a provision to revoke immunity protections -- known as Section 230 -- from Twitter and other social media networks. Trump has repeatedly accused the networks of unfairly censoring conservatives who post false or misleading information.
Thornberry argued that Section 230 needs to be addressed "in a different place and a different way."
