House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), and Rep. Pete Visclosky (D-Ind.) demanded Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe resume election security briefings to Congress, days after Ratcliffe said it’s necessary to scale back the in-person briefings because of leaks.
“Your abrupt decision to cancel previously scheduled election-related briefings, contrary to repeated private and public commitments by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), is an abdication of your responsibility to keep the American people and their elected representatives informed of foreign threats to the 2020 election,” they wrote in a letter on Tuesday.
