CIA Director John Ratcliffe blew up California Democrats Wednesday, demanding him Secretary of Defense Pete Heggs He had been drinking before he leaked his confidential information, “in a signal chat group, his words called “offensive questioning.”
Rep. Jimmy Gomez sparked testicular exchanges at a House Intelligence Committee hearing on global threats, with Ratcliffe appearing along with National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard and other top Trump administration officials.
“The main figures involved in this topic, many people want to talk to, Secretary of Defense Heggs. Confirm the hearing. As far as you know, did you know if Pete Hegseth had been drinking before leaking confidential information? Gomez asked Gabbard, who replied, “I know nothing about the personal habits of Secretary Hegseth. ”
When Gomez then asked Ratcliff the same question, telling him that it was a “yes or no” answer, Ratcliff fired backwards and said, “You know, no. I want to answer. I think it’s an offensive question.”

“The answer is no. I find it interesting…” Ratcliffe continued to shout, “Hey, I succumb, this is my time, director! director!”
“You ask me a question, do you want the answer?” Ratcliffe said. “You don’t want to focus on good work CIA In doing it, the intelligence community…”
“Director, I take back my time. Director, I take back my time.” “I have a lot of respect for the CIA, respect for men and women in uniforms. But that’s the top of every American’s mind, right?”
“He stood in front of a podium in Europe with a drink,” Gomez said.
“His performance was compromised by a successful strike? … Do you think he should take responsibility for a successful strike and make the Americans safer?” Ratcliffe began, and Gomez interrupted him again in an attempt to control the situation.

R-Va. Rep. Ben Cline followed Gomez’s inquiry and allowed Ratcliffe to speak without interruption.
“I’m grateful, Congressman. I think, you know, here again, general reflections have been done, and for the past two days, members of the intelligence community have been asking questions about a signal messaging group, rather than asking questions in the Senate or House Democrats – Russia, Russia, Iran and actual threats, ”
