House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner has sent a letter to President Biden demanding a briefing on the movement of North Korean troops into Russia and their potential deployment in Ukraine. Turner emphasized that the presence of North Korean troops in Ukraine should be considered a red line for the United States and NATO. This request comes amid reports from Ukraine and South Korea about the situation. Turner has called for an immediate classified briefing by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence regarding these developments. The Biden-Harris Administration has been criticized for failing to actively brief Congress, including the HouseIntel, about these movements.
