The House Committee on Homeland Security listed a hearing titled “Worldwide Threats to the Homeland” with DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, NCTC Director Joseph Kent, and FBI National Security Branch Operations Director Michael Glasheen as witnesses.
Assessments
The promise was to seek a House Homeland Security Committee hearing, not necessarily to secure or hold one. Thompson formally requested the exact hearing from the committee chair during his federal House service, including DHS, FBI, and NCTC leadership, so the promised action was fulfilled in the same term even though the hearing was not scheduled at publication.
