Central Intelligence Director John Ratclifel, a California Democrat, criticized his question, “Whether it's Defense Minister Beit Higseth He was drinking before leaking the classified information “in the sign chat group, describing his words as” an offensive line of interrogation. ”
Representative Jimmy Gomez sparked the exchange of appreciation during the hearing of the Intelligence Committee in the House of Representatives on threats all over the world, as Ratcliffe appeared alongside the Director of National Intelligence Toulcy Gabbard and other Trump administration officials.
“The main person who participated in this topic that many people want to speak to is, Defense Minister Higseth. Many questions were asked about his habits in drinking it in Confirmation session. As far as you know, do you know if the Higseth house was drinking before it leaked from secret information?
When Gomez Ratcliffe asked about the same question, and he told him that he was either an answer, “Yes or No,” Ratcliffe launched again, saying, “You know, no. I will answer it. I think this is an offensive line for interrogation.”

“I appreciate that, a member of Congress. I think, as you know, just a general reflection here again, that during the last two days, the intelligence community members have asked questions about the group of signaling signals and not to ask questions – from Democrats either in the Senate or the House of Representatives – in China, Russia, Iran, and the real threats that revolve around the United States.”
