House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner (R-OH) has alerted that the United States is confronted with a grave national security peril. In an effort to address this, Turner has called upon President Biden to declassify any and all information concerning the threat.
The chairman made this announcement on Wednesday through a concise and enigmatic statement.
“Today, the House Permanent Select committee on Intelligence has made available to all Members of Congress information concerning a serious national security threat,” Turner wrote.
“I am requesting that President Biden declassify all information relating to this threat so that Congress, the Administration, and our allies can openly discuss the actions necessary to respond to this threat,” he added:
