The United States is facing the highest number of terrorist threats in over a decade, with the Biden administration’s lax policies contributing to the problem, according to Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio).

FBI Director Christopher Wray recently testified to Congress that foreign terror groups have issued calls to attack the United States. Commenting on the testimony, Mr. Turner said in a Nov. 19 interview with CBS News that “what he’s indicated specifically is that, you know, more than a decade, the increase in terrorist threats to the United States, inside the United States, is at its highest ever.”
