– DNI and DCIA have released statements complaining about leaks regarding Russian bounties to kill US troops. NYT says Trump got written briefing in February. AP says there were reports in 2019.
– Who’ll know? GOP has been boycotting House Intell hearings.

My SAIS colleague Charlie Stevenson distributes this almost daily news digest of foreign/defense/national security policy to “Stevenson’s army” via Googlegroups. I plan to republish here. To get Stevenson’s army by email, send a blank email (no subject or text in the body) to stevensons-army+subscribe@googlegroups.com. You’ll get an email confirming your join request. Click “Join This Group” and follow the instructions to join. Once you have joined, you can adjust your email delivery preferences (if you want every email or a digest of the emails).
