“What I’m concerned about is that the American people should be better informed,” the speaker said.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other top House Democrats admonished the country’s top counterintelligence official during a classified election security briefing Friday, accusing him of keeping Americans in the dark about the details of Russia’s continued interference in the 2020 campaign.
An official with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence said Evanina, in his statement last week, was “quite clear that the Intelligence Community will continue to update the American public and other key stakeholders on threats to the election and steps for mitigation.”“Today’s briefing was a highly-classified session in which representatives from half-a-dozen intelligence agencies presented the most sensitive information in the U.S.
But whether that hearing will even happen is in doubt. Acting Senate Intelligence Chairman Marco Rubio said this week that “it’s become harder to get to an agreement on a forum that doesn’t turn into a political circus,” citing “heavy politicization” of intelligence on the foreign interference issue.
“Leader Schumer and I wrote to them and said, ‘tell the truth to the American people,’ and for some reason they are withholding it,” she added. “That’s what I’m concerned about.”
