Thriller relating to national security, without names and information, in the US, with the US government appearing embarrassed.

During a White House briefing on Wednesday, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said he was “surprised” that the head of the House Intelligence Committee, Mike Turnerchose to publicize a national security issue while the White House was planning a briefing with the eight heads of Congress, responsible for national security issues.

The head of the House Intelligence Committee made a puzzling appeal to the US president Joe Biden to declassify information about a “serious threat to national security” to allow for a public debate about how the US should respond.

The White House cannot tell the American people that there is no reason to worry on the unknown threat to national security: “That question is impossible to answer with a resounding yes,” said the White House national security adviser.

“I’m not in a position to say anything more today,” the US official said.

“The case concerns Russia”

Two sources familiar with the matter, and a US official, told CNN that the threat is related to Russia.

Multiple sources familiar with the intelligence issues characterized the information as “very sensitive”.

One of the sources with knowledge of the evidence confirmed that “it is, in fact, a tip disturbing and destabilizing” Russian capability “of which we have recently been informed.”
