Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) met with Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) on Wednesday, as tensions linger between the two lawmakers after the New York Republican withdrew her nomination to be U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

The gathering — which Johnson confirmed to The Hill — came one day after the spat between the two Republicans entered the public eye, with Stefanik accusing Johnson of lying about alleged conversations they had regarding her potential run for governor or New York.

“It was great, really great meeting,” Johnson told The Hill. “She’s like a sister to me, and there was a lot of things being said that weren’t true of people about us and what was being said and we worked that out and I thought it was great.”

Stefanik declined to comment when asked about the huddle.
