Subscribers asked, Ask a Pol answers:

On May 28, Speaker Kevin McCarthy, House Intelligence Chair Mike Turner (R-OH) and Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-OH) reported receiving a “tour of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and national security briefing at the National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC).”

Wenstrup had never heard of whistleblower David Grusch—“which whistleblower is he?”—and was unfamiliar with AARO, the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office. 

*Our apologies, an earlier version mistakenly said the tour was in June. It was in May.
