Dan Coats: “The warning lights are blinking red”

You'll need to demonstrate to the American people that the Intelligence Community deserves their utmost confidence as a source of truth and insight.

I'm here to say the warning lights are blinking red again. Today, the digital infrastructure that serves this country is literally under attack.

I believe the top of the list will be to reinforce the prime imperative for our Nation's Intelligence Community: to find the truth and to speak truth to power, without fear of political retribution.

I know others have talked about that here today, but when you and I had a chance to talk earlier in the last couple weeks, I mentioned one of my real concerns about China.
