It is the Committee’s longstanding practice to hold such a hearing yearly – yet no hearing is scheduled or planned.

Fetched verbatim passage. AI summary (separate from source): As of September 1, Thompson's side said the requested annual threats hearing was not scheduled or planned, so the promise was still unresolved at that point.

Fetched verbatim passage. AI summary (separate from source): The House's official committee repository shows a counterterrorism-related hearing was scheduled during the lookback window, which partially satisfies the scheduling component but does not show Thompson personally scheduled it or that it was a strategy hearing.

Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): partial. unknown

The evidence shows Thompson advanced related counterterrorism oversight through Homeland Security Committee hearings and subcommittee activity, which supports some candidate contribution on the issue. But the record provided does not show that he clearly scheduled or delivered a distinct counterterrorism strategy as promised. The May 2026 U.S. Counterterrorism Strategy was a White House action, not a Thompson-delivered outcome, so full credit is not warranted. Because there was meaningful related work but not a clear match to the promised outcome, partial is the best fit.

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): partial. same_term A for effort

Evidence does not show Thompson fully delivered the specific promise to schedule a counterterrorism strategy promptly. However, as chair/ranking member involved with the House Homeland Security Committee, he materially advanced related counterterrorism oversight by holding or backing hearings on domestic terrorism and by supporting subcommittee work on terrorism threats during the 117th and 118th Congresses. That is meaningful action in the promised policy area, but it falls short of clear proof that he scheduled the specific counterterrorism strategy promised. Because there was relevant committee action attributable to him, this is better scored as partial rather than never.
