A group of
Republican senators is urging the
Department of Defense to investigate a leak of classified information regarding the discovery of the
Chinese spy balloon. The alleged leak likened President
Joe Biden's handling of the balloon to that of previous administrations.
Sens. Tom Cotton (R-AR), Bill Hagerty (R-TN), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Rick Scott (R-FL), Ted Budd (R-NC), James Lankford (R-OK), Eric Schmitt (R-MO), Thom Tillis (R-NC), Roger Marshall (R-KS), and Roger Wicker (R-MS) said with the leak, Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Colin Kahl was likely acting for partisan political purposes. The letter suggested that the leak may have been intentional and requires further investigation.
