Moments before McCarthy's decision was announced on Tuesday, Schiff told reporters that McCarthy was "trying to dictate to Democrats who can sit and who can lead Democrats on the Intelligence Committee." The speaker argued that the "misuse of this panel during the 116th and 117th Congress severely undermined its primary national security and oversight missions -- ultimately leaving our nation less safe." Schiff, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, is best known nationally for his role as Trump’s chief antagonist during the investigation led by former FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III into Russian interference in the 2016 election, and as the lead impeachment manager during Trump’s first impeachment. Cheney was forced out of her role leading the House Republican Conference because of her public criticism of Trump’s role in provoking the Jan. 6 riot and her support for the committee.

Turner Statement on the Upcoming Resignation of Congressman Mike Gallagher

He was also a member of President Donald Trump's transition team.[2] Nunes's former district, numbered as the 21st from 2003 to 2013 and as the 22nd after redistricting, was in the San Joaquin Valley and included most of western Tulare County and much of eastern Fresno County. A congressional aide said he understood that the threat relates to a space-deployed Russian anti-satellite weapon. Such a weapon could pose a major danger to U.S. satellites that transmit billions of bytes of data each hour. During his tenure, he was a strong proponent of neighborhood revitalization, crime reduction, increased funding for safety forces, economic development and job creation. He created Rehabarama, a private-public partnership to rehabilitate neglected housing in Dayton’s historic neighborhoods, which had significant economic impact on the region and received national awards.

Turner and Himes: With Increased Terror Threat, We Need This Year’s Intelligence Authorization Act Now More Than Ever

First elected to Congress in 1994, Lofgren is a stalwart liberal vote in Congress and is both an ally of Pelosi and well respected among rank-and-file Democrats. She was one of seven House managers in Trump’s first impeachment trial, and is the only House Democrat who was present for the impeachment hearings of former Presidents Bill Clinton and Richard M. Nixon. Cheney told “CBS Sunday Morning” that she’s concerned about how multipronged the effort to keep Trump in office was.

“We need to look at this issue from all angles — inclusive of the role the president played as well as the security of the Capitol on that day,” Murphy told the Washington Post. A steadily conservative vote in Congress, and someone who backed most of Trump’s positions until the Jan. 6 attack, Cheney has reportedly pushed her colleagues on the committee not to let Trump or his allies off the hook. He worked for months with Rep. John Katko (R-N.Y.) on legislation to create an independent, bipartisan commission to investigate what led to the Jan. 6 attack, but that legislation received little Republican support in the House and died in the Senate with no support from Republicans. Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines, CIA Director Bill Burns, and FBI Director Christopher Wray join other leaders from the intelligence community to testify on worldwide threats, before the House Select Intelligence Committee. Several key lawmakers, including Johnson, said Wednesday that there was no reason to be alarmed by Turner's statement. Biden and the Senate are urging the Republican-controlled House to pass aid for Ukraine in its war against the country, as well as aid for Israel and Taiwan.

House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence

Prior to Congressman Turner's election, there was no advocate for Wright-Patterson Air Force Base on the important House Armed Services Committee. Congressman Turner filled that void and throughout his time in Congress, Wright-Patt has successfully added approximately 10,000 jobs and remains the largest single-site employer in the state of Ohio. Joining Larry to talk about what’s next on the House Intelligence Committee’s agenda is its chairman and California Democrat, Adam Schiff. After two weeks of public hearings, Democrats could soon turn the impeachment process over to the House Judiciary Committee.

These are the names you need to know when watching the congressional Jan. 6 hearings, which begin June 9. Thompson has focused on domestic terrorism and cybersecurity — particularly election security — in his 17 years as the highest-ranking Democrat on the Homeland Security Committee. In May, Thompson said that it was unclear whether the former president would provide any new insight on the evidence already collected. Each member is expected to lead a portion of a hearing, some of which will be held in prime time. The House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the nation’s Capitol will begin a series of six televised hearings on Thursday. And while the House made the intelligence available to all of its members late Tuesday night, the Senate didn’t do the same for all senators until Wednesday afternoon.

He also successfully reduced police response time by 40%, added 54 police officers to the force, and established a development fund that awarded over $19 million in grants for housing and job producing projects. McCarthy has also promised to keep Omar off of that committee, due to some of the controversial statements she has made, which could set up a House vote this week to remove her assignment. "It is my understanding that you intend to break with the longstanding House tradition of deference to the minority party Intelligence Committee recommendations and deny seats to Ranking Member Schiff and Representative Swalwell," Jeffries wrote to the speaker then. The committee has special rules that allow the speaker to assign its members in consultation with the minority leader. Deeply reported insights into legislation, politics and policy from Sacramento, Washington and beyond. At one of the committee’s few public meetings, Luria alleged that the Justice Department slow-walked charges against former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows for being held in contempt of Congress after disobeying a committee subpoena.

Defamation lawsuits filed by Nunes

Following Nedzi's resignation in June, the committee was reconstituted with Pike as chair, in July 1975, with its mandate expiring January 31, 1976. Under Pike's chairmanship, the committee investigated illegal activities by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). A member of the Republican Party, Nunes was the chair of the House Intelligence Committee from 2015 to 2019.

Rep. Mike Turner gave no details about the nature of the threat, and the Biden administration also declined to address it. But several leading lawmakers, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, cautioned against being overly alarmed. Washington, DC — House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Ranking Member Jim Himes (CT-04) released the following statement regarding the passage of the Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act (H.R. 7888). For the 5 years prior to Mayor Turner’s leadership, Dayton did not have a balanced budget. Turner worked across the aisle and balanced the budget for all eight years of his tenure.

Trump repeated the story Wednesday night at a rally in South Carolina — though he notably did not mention encouraging Russian aggression this time. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump has faced strong pushback after he said at a campaign rally Saturday that he would encourage Russia to attack NATO countries if they didn’t contribute enough to defense as part of the alliance’s mutual protection agreement. He said he would urge Russia “to do whatever the hell they want” to those countries. On Wednesday afternoon, House members began trickling in and out of the highly secure room in the basement of the Capitol, known as the SCIF, where the most sensitive, classified information is shared with lawmakers. Senior U.S. military officers have voiced concern about the threat posed by Russian and Chinese efforts to build anti-satellite weapons, NBC News has reported.

Cheney, the vice chairwoman of the committee, is one of two Republicans asked to serve on the panel by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) after House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Bakersfield) opted not to participate. Rep Mike Garcia, R-Calif., said he urges all members to look at the intelligence. It’s something that needs the attention of members of Congress and the executive branch," he said. Sullivan said at Wednesday's briefing that he reached out this week to the Gang of Eight, the top leaders from the House and the Senate, "to offer myself up for a personal briefing."

In the coming weeks, the House intelligence panel will submit a report to the Judiciary panel, and then Democrats will consider drafting articles of impeachment on President Donald Trump’s dealings with Ukraine and the administration’s attempts to block the investigation. The articles could cover matters beyond Trump’s efforts to push Ukraine to investigate Democrats, including special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation. "What I am doing with the Intel Committee [is] bringing it back to the jurisdiction it's supposed to do. Forward-looking to keep this country safe, keep the politics out of it," McCarthy told reporters at a press conference earlier this month. She is chairwoman of the House Administration Committee, which oversees the Capitol Police. That committee has held several hearings on how department leaders handled the riot and the security failures that allowed more than 1,000 people to storm the building without going through normal security procedures. Thompson, the chairman of the committee, is known on Capitol Hill for his bipartisan relationships and patient but dogged demeanor.

It is highly unusual, in fact, for the national security adviser to do that," Sullivan said. He said he had reached out earlier this week. WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. has gathered highly sensitive intelligence about Russian anti-satellite weapons that has been shared in recent weeks with the upper echelons of government, according to four people who have been briefed on the intelligence. The people, who were not authorized to comment publicly, said the capability was not yet operational. Today, the House Intelligence Committee released a declassified report examining the Intelligence Community's response to the COVID-19 pandemic following a two-...

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., has said he wouldn’t bring the Senate-passed aid package to the floor for a vote, saying he wants conservative border security measures added. Sullivan addressed Turner's statement at a briefing a short time later and suggested he was perplexed by it because a briefing was already planned for Thursday. A U.S. official confirmed that the briefing Thursday is related to the threat Turner highlighted.
