In a cryptic and concerning development, Rep. Mike Turner, the chair of the House Intelligence Committee, has issued a warning about a "serious national security threat." The nature of this threat remains shrouded in secrecy, but Turner has indicated that it may necessitate the assistance of "our allies" in addressing it.

Citing undisclosed "information" about this mysterious threat, Turner revealed that all members of Congress have already received briefings on the matter.

Now, Rep. Turner is urging President Biden to declassify the information, allowing for open discussions among Congress, the administration, and our allies regarding the necessary actions to counter this threat.

"This is a serious issue that could lead to a destabilizing situation and a national security threat," an unnamed Democratic source stated to NBC News. While the source described it as a "potential foreign threat," no further details were provided.

His move appeared to catch White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan flat-footed. Speaking at the daily White House press briefing, Mr. Sullivan said he had not expected Mr. Turner to go public ahead of a closed meeting they have scheduled for Thursday.

“I’m a bit surprised Congressman Turner came out publicly today in advance of a meeting on the books to sit with him alongside our defense and intelligence professionals,” he said.

Mr. Sullivan told reporters that he had reached out to the so-called Gang of Eight, a bipartisan group of high-ranking Senators and House members who can be briefed on sensitive intelligence matters.

But Mr. Sullivan raised some eyebrows, saying a meeting between the White House national security adviser and the Gang of Eight is “highly unusual.”
