Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) has asked House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) to investigate House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner (R-Ohio) for warning about a national security threat pertaining to Russia.

“This revelation by the chairman was done with a reckless disregard of the implications and consequences said information would have on geopolitics domestic and foreign markets, or the well-being and psyche of the American people,” Mr. Ogles wrote in a Feb. 15 letter to Mr. Johnson.
