Thompson (MS-02), Ranking Member of the House Committee on Homeland Security demanded answers from FBI Director Kash Patel on his firing of counterintelligence agents with expertise on Iran.
“For decades now, politicians have sent American service members to fight and die in the Middle East in wars of choice, not necessity.

I am monitoring the situation closely and praying for the safety of our troops and of innocent civilians throughout the region.”
