Senate Majority Leader Schumer says all senators will receive a briefing on what comes next as the U.S. deals with the fallout from the Chinese surveillance balloon.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Sunday that all senators would receive a briefing on what comes next as the U.S. deals with the fallout from theA spokesperson for the New York Democrat said the briefing for all senators would take place Feb. 15. A classified briefing for all senators focused on China had previously been scheduled for that date, before news of the balloon broke, and now the balloon situation would be the focus of that briefing.
“They are premature and they are politics,” Schumer said, adding that the move by the U.S. to down the balloon Saturday protected civilians as well as sensitive information. It was unclear, however, how many House Republicans were on board with the potential measure. Two moderate Republicans told NBC News they would not support the resolution if it came up, with one saying the intent behind the resolution was “stupid,” given that even top lawmakers were awaiting a classified briefing from the administration and did not yet know the full picture.
