House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner, R-Ohio, issued a rare public statement about a “serious national security threat,” urging President Joe Biden to declassify information for broader discussion. The details of the threat, shared in a secure Capitol room, remain undisclosed, sparking significant concern and curiosity.
The White House’s Jake Sullivan expressed surprise at Turner’s announcement, noting a briefing with congressional leaders was already scheduled. Sullivan, emphasizing the administration’s commitment to national security, initiated the briefing to discuss the threat. He described the move as highly unusual for the national security adviser but necessary given the circumstances.
A Democratic source described the threat as a “potential foreign threat” but did not specify its origin. Despite the gravity of the situation, Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., advised the public against panic, emphasizing the sensitivity of the information and the importance of addressing it through proper channels.
The threat’s specifics are tightly held, with Senate Intelligence leaders briefed weeks earlier. It is hinted that the nature of the threat is linked with stalled national security funding, affecting Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, but details remain vague, underscoring the complex and delicate nature of the situation.
