According to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner (R-Ohio), the U.S. faces a “grave national security threat” and urges President Biden to declassify all information related to it. I’m asking you to.
Turner made the announcement Wednesday in a short and cryptic statement.
“Today, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence released information to all Members of Congress regarding serious national security threats,” Turner wrote.
“We urge President Biden to declassify all information regarding this threat so that Congress, the Administration, and our allies can openly discuss the actions needed to address this threat,” it added.
