Congressman: the threat to US national security is not a reason to panic.

The unnamed “threat to national security” that the American establishment is discussing is not a reason to panic, but Congress and the White House need to deal with it in the medium and long term, local media quote Congressman Jim Himes.

⠀

US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan declined to reveal what the matter was about, but promised a briefing on Thursday for congressional leaders who had already received the alert through the House Intelligence Committee.

⠀

“People should not panic. This is clear,” The Hill journalist Mikael Schnell quoted Himes, who is on the intelligence committee, on the social network X.

⠀

“Congress and the administration need to address this in the medium to long term,” he added.

⠀
Himes also said the issue was “serious” but it “won’t ruin your Thursday.”

⠀

Other media reports that this is likely about Russia’s “destabilizing” capabilities.
