GOP Rep Warns Of “Serious Security Threat” By Russia

NBC News reports:

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner, R-Ohio, released an unusual statement Wednesday warning of a “serious national security threat” without providing additional details, pre-empting what the White House said was a planned briefing for congressional leaders.

Four sources with knowledge of the issue said the threat is a Russian military capability.

Turner, in his statement, did not identify the threat but said, “Today, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence has made available to all Members of Congress information concerning a serious national security threat.”

Turner last appeared here in November 2023 when he claimed that newly-released Capitol security tapes would “show the truth” about January 6.

In August 2022, he appeared here when he claimed that Trump was in possession of classified documents because he “needed them for his memoirs.”

In August 2016, we heard from Turner when he demanded an “independent investigation” into Hillary Clinton’s email server after a federal probe found no wrongdoing.
