(Hill) House Intelligence Committee Chair Mike Turner (R-Ohio) said the United States has hit its “highest level of a possible terrorist threat.”
CBS’s Margaret Brennan asked Turner on “Face the Nation” about the recent arrests of several people who had alleged ties to the Islamic State. He said that he could not confirm the details of the arrests when asked Sunday if there was an “active terror plot.”
“But what’s important about these reports and what we’re seeing, especially in conjunction with Director Wray’s public statements, that we are at the highest level of a possible terrorist threat, that the administration’s policies have absolutely directly related to threats to Americans,” Turner said, referring to FBI Director Christopher Wray.
