Comer and Burlison Demand FBI, NASA, DOE and DOW Briefings by 27 April

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (Republican, Kentucky) and Representative Eric Burlison (Republican, Missouri) sent formal letters to FBI Director Kash Patel, Secretary of Energy Chris Wright, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman. The letters demanded staff-level briefings no later than 27 April on the eleven missing and dead scientists, and on procedures for protecting sensitive scientific personnel and classified research. The letter stated: 'If the reports are accurate, these deaths and disappearances may represent a grave threat to US national security and to US personnel with access to scientific secrets.' The primary source PDF is posted on the House Oversight Committee website.
