Lauren Fine, the spokeswoman for House Republican Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana, told Fox News Digital that neither Scalise nor any of his staffers leaked the audio.
"Millions of American are suffering right now under President Biden and Speaker Pelosi’s big-government socialist agenda that has given us record high inflation, with skyrocketing gas prices and a border crisis, yet the only thing the Democrat media continues to obsess over is January 6th," Fine said.
"Whip Scalise’s sole focus is on working with his colleagues to stop the radical Democrat agenda," she continued. "Neither he nor anyone on his team recorded or leaked private conversations among members."
Additionally, the timing of the leak raises questions, as well.
McCarthy is the GOP front-runner to take over the speakership should Republicans take back the House in November, which is decided by internal elections in Congress.
Elections for Speaker of the House tend to happen on the first day of a new Congress — January 3 — which means if the leak was an attempt to sink McCarthy’s run for speaker, it came incredibly early.

They can deny involvement in the recording leak, but they cannot DENY THEIR WORDS.
and?
Hillary is STILL denying the paid for ‘the dossier’
It seems to me it is our side leaking it to sink Kevin.
ALL Bush League Republicans need to be replaced.
145 GOP House members voted for Liz Cheney in Feb 2021.
Right up front - I don’t trust McCarthy nor do I think he should be speaker.
However, how many iterations of this playbook do we have to witness before we understand that it might be best to wait to draw conclusions?
I did not support McCarthy for Speaker last week so this changes nothing for me. I also did not believe he and many others had any loyalty to MAGA last week.
However, I plan to wait and find out a bit more or gain more context before I send money to his primary opponent. His silence is not looking good though.....
“..It seems to me it is our side leaking it to sink Kevin...”
Whoever it is, they’re doing us a great favor.
He’s as bad as Ryan.
By our side I mean GOP. It could be a conservative GOP leaking it to get rid of him but I think it is Cheney
I hope McCarthy is out of the running for Speaker. I know the RINOs will just put in another Assistant Democrat but McCarthy needs to pay. If the recordings are true and not another fake news.
Remove that RINO!
Somebody primary McCarthy. If we can’t primary him, then support a Patriot Party candidate in the general election. ‘Eff Frank Lunz’s butt buddy.
The treachery in politics is mind boggling.
Term limits, age limits.
If we keep re-electing the same Assistant Democrats that voted McCarthy and Cheney into leadership, we will get the same type of leadership.
McCarthy would be far worse than Paul Ryan. The American nation is at risk. The next Speaker must be an ardent patriot.
“Additionally, the timing of the leak raises questions, as well.”
Yes it does.
So who’s lying?
The best speaker we ever had was Newt. By a mile.
Absolutely. But it’s still nice to see one bite the dust.
It isn’t the leak that is important. It is the content of the call.
Distraction. 100%
There must be some really bad news about to be released on the democrats.
