House Intel chair issues cryptic warning about "serious national security threat," calls on Biden to declassify details

Washington — The head of the House Intelligence Committee disclosed Wednesday that members of Congress were made aware of information about an unspecified "serious national security threat" and encouraged President Biden to declassify all information relating to the threat.

The revelation from Rep. Mike Turner, an Ohio Republican and the chairman of the House Intelligence panel, came in a cryptic statement issued by the committee. It did not contain any details, except to announce that the committee "has made available to all members of Congress information concerning a serious national security threat." 

"I am requesting that President Biden declassify all information relating to this threat so that Congress, the Administration, and our allies can openly discuss the actions necessary to respond to this threat," Turner said.
