Rep. Mike Turner Accuses GOP Colleagues of Repeating Russian Propaganda
House Intelligence Chair Raises Concerns About Classified Information Disclosure
Turner Defends Decision to Hint Publicly About Russia's Deployment of New Weapons System
House Intelligence Committee Chair Mike Turner (R-OH) alleged on Sunday that several of his GOP colleagues have repeated Russian propaganda on the House floor. Turner defended his recent decision to publicly hint about classified intelligence that Russia is moving to deploy a new anti-satellite nuclear weapons system.
Turner's disclosure, which prompted a firestorm on Capitol Hill, came in response to concerns raised by his colleagues regarding the accuracy of the information he had presented. Turner argued that he made the disclosure out of a sense of responsibility to protect the United States from potential threats.
However, some critics have questioned Turner's motives for disclosing classified information, suggesting that it may have been politically motivated. Others have raised concerns about the potential damage to national security that could result from the release of sensitive intelligence.
The matter is now under investigation by the House Intelligence Committee. Turner has pledged to cooperate with the investigation and to provide whatever information is necessary to shed light on the situation.
