Pentagon official Colin Kahl leaked classified information about the Chinese spy balloon to deflect blame about the Biden administration’s mishandling of the situation, according to two Republican senators.
Kahl, whom President Joe Biden appointed his under secretary of defense for policy, provided reporters with classified information—disclosing that CCP spy balloons may have infiltrated the United States during the Trump administration
Every single Republican senator opposed his nomination, and congressional sources who spoke to the Washington Free Beacon said Kahl’s weaponization of classified materials could prompt oversight investigations.
Wicker and Rubio are pressing the Pentagon to hold Kahl "accountable for his politicization of previously classified material."
"This type of behavior is the reason every Senate Republican voted against Dr. Kahl’s nomination in 2021," the senators write.
