Reps. Andy Ogles (R-TN)
Ask a Pol asks:
What’s up with this Intel Chair Mike Turner tweet?
Clutch Ogles:
“My understanding, based off a comment from someone from the Pentagon, it has to do with Russian capabilities in space,” Ogles exclusively tells Ask a Pol. “I haven't verified it, but end of the day, he's putting this out right now because he's trying to get funding for Ukraine and get FISA approved. Create a crisis and offer the solution.”

TRANSCRIPT: Rep. Andy Ogles
Matt Laslo: “What’s up with this Turner — you saw that Turner tweet?”
Andy Ogles: “Talking about the Russian…?”
ML: “I don't know what it is. Is that…?”
AO: “My understanding, based off a comment from someone from the Pentagon, it has to do with Russian capabilities in space.”
ML: “Oh, really?”
AO: “Yeah.”
ML: “What — have you checked it out? Are you gonna go check it out?”
AO: “I haven't verified it, but end of the day, he's putting this out right now because he's trying to get funding for Ukraine and get FISA approved. Create a crisis and offer the solution.”
ML: “Interesting. I like the way your mind works. Have a good one, sir.”
AO: “Have a good one yourself.”
