The leaders of the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security have chosen not to testify publicly at a scheduled Senate hearing on global national security threats, breaking from years of open testimony before the panel. This decision has raised concerns among lawmakers and the public.
Sen. Gary Peters, chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committee, expressed disappointment over the absence of public testimony, stating that it deprives the American people of critical information and the opportunity for public accountability regarding the government's efforts to ensure national security.
