The chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives' intelligence committee issued a statement on February 14 that referred to a "serious national security threat," which sources quoted in U.S. news reports said was related to Russia. In the statement, representative Mike Turner (Republican-Ohio) requested that President Joe Biden declassify all information relating to the danger "so that Congress, the Administration, and our allies can openly discuss the actions necessary to respond to this threat." He provided no further information. Two sources familiar with the issue said Turner's statement was related to Russia and operations in space.
