House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., announced on X Monday that lawmakers would be voting on a bill next week led by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., to limit U.S. district court judges' ability to hand down nationwide injunctions.
Fox News Digital was told last week that Trump himself expressed interest in the bill.
Meanwhile, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, is expected to hold a hearing on the issue of activist judges early next week.
Several conservative lawmakers have also introduced or threatened resolutions to impeach specific judges blocking Trump's agenda.
Johnson has been known to meet with various factions of the House GOP when trying to push key pieces of legislation, particularly when there are differing opinions on what to do, to ensure all lawmakers who want to express a viewpoint are heard.
But House GOP leaders have also been privately wary of getting behind any of the calls for impeachment, worried it would not be the most effective approach.

Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-Ind., contended that the impeachment resolutions sent a necessary message.

"The reason I sponsored Gill's efforts is just – if we don't say anything, the judges are going to be like, ‘Oh, we can do whatever we want.’ So they need to know that we are watching and that there's a group of us that, if that's what it takes, we would support that," Stutzman said.
Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., said Issa's bill was a "start" but said the House Freedom Caucus would have discussions about whether the group wanted to push for impeachment.
Fox News Digital reached out to Johnson's office and the House Judiciary Committee for comment but did not immediately hear back.
