I proudly voted in favor of the FY27 NDAA to ensure that America’s military remains the greatest fighting force on Earth. This legislation includes four of my amendments that target the following priorities: Stronger DHS bomb prevention efforts, higher EOD tech incentive pay, the establishment of an Army National Guard EOD drone/missile defense program, and the establishment of a program to streamline the transition of EOD vets into Federal Law Enforcement.
TUNE IN: @houseintel holds a hearing to examine how the threat landscape has changed over the 25 years since September 11th and whether the Intelligence Community is equipped to counter the threats the United States will face over the next 25 years. WATCH HERE: https://t.co/jJUyXsGXD8
I am devastated to hear of the loss of the two U.S. service members and the one U.S. service member missing in action as they served their country honorably. My prayers are with their loved ones in this unimaginably difficult time. President Trump made it very clear that any attack from Iran on our U.S. service members was his red line. It’s time to finish the job in Iran. Tonight we pray for all our service members in the region.
CENTCOM Statement on Recently Fallen, Missing U.S. Service Members
TAMPA, Fla. — On July 17, two U.S. service members in Jordan were killed in action as U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) and partner forces defended against Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks. Additionally, one service member is currently missing.
Four American service members were medically evacuated to Jordanian hospitals. They have since been discharged. Other personnel who were evaluated for minor injuries have returned to duty.
Out of respect for the families, CENTCOM will withhold additional information, including the identities of the fallen warriors, until 24 hours after the next of kin have been notified.
In light of the developments unveiled in the President’s address, I call upon @CIADirector Ratcliffe to immediately take decisive action to hold all those involved at the @CIA accountable for these egregious betrayals of the American people’s trust.
We all can agree that bureaucrats who manipulate or conceal intelligence from the people’s elected leaders to push their preferred policies or end states cannot keep their jobs in the American people’s Intelligence Community. Those involved, and any who knew and remained silent, must be immediately removed from their positions of trust.
The @HouseIntel Committee will be following up to ensure this is done.
Once again, unelected bureaucrats in the Intelligence Community manipulated and concealed intelligence to mislead the President, Congress, and the American people. They did this to make the intelligence say what they wanted it to say, instead of the facts of what we know and what we don’t know.
These types of corrupt acts are what I have been fighting against for nearly 4 years. Since I became Chairman, this has been my number one priority and, thanks to the assistance of President Trump, we have been able to expose multiple such abuses leading up to tonight. Specifically:
- In July 2025, I released, in coordination with then Director of National Intelligence Gabbard, the 2017 HPSCI Majority Staff report on the Russia Hoax, which showed the American people how individuals in the intelligence community manipulated and fabricated intelligence in a conspiracy against a President of the United States.
- Then in June this year, following three years of my Committee investigation detailing the manipulation and concealment of intelligence by analysts on Anomalous Health Incidents (AHIs), former Director Gabbard recalled the Intelligence Community Assessments (ICAs) on AHIs, which involved similar corrupt acts.
To be clear, there are great patriots working in the Intelligence Community who are dedicated to doing the right thing to uphold U.S. national security. But we learned tonight of some whose actions are an affront to the Constitution and rule of law. Their actions dishonor those serving their country honestly.
I have seen far too many instances of intelligence bureaucrats who think they not only know better than the American people, but better than the Presidents the American people elect. This is unacceptable. Americans and their elected leaders must be able to trust the Intelligence Community and the intelligence they produce—it’s a Constitutional and national security imperative.
To those politicians or talking heads who want the American people to ‘move on’ from 2020 and ‘stop looking back and look forward’—my response to you is we cannot go forward with an eroded, weak foundation. We must look ahead while also seeking to fully understand what went wrong and hold bad actors accountable. Telling the American people to just 'move on' is an arrogant and patronizing affront.
Instead, tonight, President Trump trusted the American people with the facts, allowing them to arrive at their own conclusions. We, the American people, deserve that much. As a country, we are trying to move forward, but sometimes sunshine is the best disinfectant.
Now it's time to hold people accountable, or this will keep happening. It’s not too late. I will continue working with President Trump and trusted members of his team to do just that.
The 15th annual EOD Day on the Hill was a real blast!
As founder and co-chair of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Caucus, it is an honor to advocate and bring awareness to the EOD community. At this year's event, teams from various service branches and government agencies were in attendance, displaying their skills and equipment, in addition to the EOD Teams of the Year receiving recognition. A special thanks to my caucus co-chairs @RepBrianMast and @RepJimmyPanetta for attending and speaking. We could not support this community without them or the other co-chairs, @RepJasonCrow and @repdarrellissa
Every year the EOD caucus hosts “EOD on the Hill”. The caucus, Chaired by Congressman Rick Crawford and Co-chair Congressman Brian Mast advocate for the Joint EOD community. This year was extra special to have @Johnny_Joey back in uniform sporting the coveted EOD Crab!
NCSC was proud to join @HouseIntel, @RepDaleStrong, and @RepRickCrawford’s Scale Up event in Huntsville, bringing federal, state, local and industry leaders together to forge new partnerships, strengthen our counterintelligence defenses, and protect our nation from those who seek to undermine it.
America is strongest when those defending our nation work together. 🇺🇸
@RepRickCrawford explains why Senator Lindsey Graham's blunt, unfiltered approach to foreign affairs was exactly what Washington needed—and why that voice will be incredibly hard to replace.

Senator Graham was a staunch defender of conservative values and a true leader in the national security space. He will be remembered for his honorable service to our nation, his honest candor , and his love for our country. My thoughts and prayers are with Senator Graham’s family and his staff as they navigate this impossibly difficult time.
Today we're celebrating 250 years of independence! We honor the patriots who came before us and recommit to the principles that made this the greatest nation on earth.
