WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 17th May, 2019) Three chairmen of US House of Representatives key committees have sent a letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo demanding a briefing on what they say is politicization and abuse of intelligence with respect to Iran, Congressman Adam Schiff said in a press release.
"Today, Representatives Adam Schiff, Eliot Engel and Adam Smith, the Chairs of the House Intelligence, Foreign Affairs and Armed Services Committees... sent a letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo raising serious concerns over the... politicization of intelligence regarding Iran," the release said on Thursday.
Schiff, Engel and Smith demanded a briefing and documents on arms control, verification, and compliance following the April 15 release of the State Department's annual report on the topic, which was disproportionately focused on Iran, the release noted.
"In the letter, the Members raise concerns that the report provides significantly less unclassified information, that the Administration selectively ignores facts or injects non-factual information, and... has failed to file a key report to Congress about Iranian compliance with the nuclear deal," the release said.
The three committee chairmen also announced that their committees will be conducting rigorous oversight over allegations of politicization of intelligence regarding Iran, the release added.
