House Minority Leader McCarthy appoints Rep. Mike Turner as ranking member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
"Congressman Turner’s commitment to this country is unwavering," McCarthy, R-Calif., said in a statement."Throughout his long tenure on the Intelligence Committee, Mike established himself as a national security leader and ardent supporter of truth."The committee, chaired by Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., oversees the nation's intelligence agencies. It led the inquiry into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Turner this year co-sponsored a bill introduced by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., to overhaul how the military handles sexual assault and other serious crimes. The Military Justice Improvement and Increasing Prevention Act of 2021 would professionalize the military justice process by moving the decision to prosecute felony-level, complex criminal cases from unit commanders to high-ranking and experienced military lawyers.
"I want to say to the president, this is not OK. That conversation is not OK. And I think it's disappointing to the American public when they read the transcript," Turner said
