A top Republican in the House is warning that an alleged Russian space weapon may imperil the U.S. military and economy if nothing is done about it.

Last week, the head of the House Intelligence Committee released a statement calling on the Biden administration to declassify intelligence about a serious military matter, saying members “identified an urgent matter with regard to a destabilizing foreign military capability that should be known by all congressional policymakers.” The move drew some criticism from fellow Republicans, accusing committee Chairman Mike Turner (R-Ohio) of hyping up the threat to get a Ukraine aid bill passed.
