"Congressman Advocates for Ukraine Aid Amid GOP Warning of Russian Nuclear Threat in Space"

House Intelligence Committee Chair Mike Turner publicly warned of a Russian national security threat related to a nuclear-powered space asset, aiming to pressure Congress and the White House to pass additional aid for Ukraine and renew a key foreign surveillance program. Turner's concerns stem from frustration over delays in aid to Ukraine and the renewal of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. His move has sparked controversy and calls for an inquiry, with some questioning the timing and impact of his public statement. The threat is related to a Russian nuclear-powered space asset that could be weaponized, and Biden's national security adviser is set to brief congressional leaders on the matter.
