Mike Turner

2023-12-01what this date marks is not recorded

Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH), former chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Publicly dismissed David Grusch's claims after Grusch's December 2022 classified testimony, and is reported to have opposed key UAP Disclosure Act provisions during NDAA negotiations (jointly with Mike Rogers). Grusch alleges Turner worked to block the UAPDA in the House; per staffers, Turner sought to fund a primary opponent against Rep. Tim Burchett over his UAP advocacy. His district includes Wright-Patterson AFB and defense contractor Radiance Technologies; OpenSecrets data shows Lockheed Martin as his top defense-sector donor (roughly $183,000 since 2001).
