CNN: US Congress to be immediately informed of “serious threat” from Russia

Members of the US Congress will be informed of the “serious threat to national security” from Russia. CNN reported this on Wednesday, February 14, citing its sources.

The head of the House Intelligence Committee (lower house of Congress), Mike Turner, said that the congressmen will be given information about the threat to national security for analysis. The letter says it is an urgent matter and concerns “destabilizing foreign military power.”

Turner also called on President Joe Biden to declassify “all information related to this threat.” The official did not provide any other details about the nature of this threat.

The media said that, according to “two sources and a US official representative,” the threat was related to Russia. In addition, sources familiar with the intelligence data described the data as “highly sensitive.” In particular, a source who has seen the intelligence data confirmed that “this is really an alarming and debilitating” potential of Russia “that we have recently become aware of.”

White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan confirmed the existence of such information in a briefing and said he agreed to a personal meeting with top congressmen on Thursday, February 15, to discuss this information with them.

The White House adviser said he could not publicly disclose the details of the risk he wanted to discuss with members of Congress. He added that the Biden administration has gone further than its predecessors in declassifying intelligence data on US national interests.

We remind you that the media said that the United States refused to discuss the proposal of Russian President Vladimir Putin for a ceasefire in Ukraine to freeze the war.
