Date: February 25, 2021
Time: 7:00pm - 8:15pm
Location: Virtual
Thrust into the spotlight during the first impeachment of President Donald Trump, Congressman Adam Schiff, Chairman of the House intelligence committee, has been on the radar of the US Intelligence Community since joining the committee in 2007. On Thursday, February 25, Hayden Center senior fellow, and former acting director of CIA, Michael Morell goes face to face with the Chairman.
Join us as Michael discusses with Chairman Schiff how, after four years of executive branch politicizing and weaponizing intelligence, the IC can regain its credibility and standing with Congress and the American people. They will also examine how Congress can best support the IC as it faces traditional challenges while informing policymakers on rising issues such as global health, climate change, and domestic violent extremism.
