Chris Murphy: Trump’s Delusion ‘Is Jeopardizing American National Security’

‘I see a number of national security concerns in this interregnum period’

EXCERPT:

MURPHY: “The transition is only ten weeks long. And if President Trump denies Joe Biden access to this information, it frankly provides an avenue for our adversaries around the world to try to take advantage of this vacuum and of an administration that may not have all the information it needs. Second, the firing of Mark Esper yesterday is incredibly concerning. The fact that we don’t have stable leadership at the top of the Department of Defense, that the heads of the CIA or the FBI may be next, also provides ample opportunity for adversaries around the globe to take advantage of that change in leadership, that instability of leadership. So this is a very dangerous moment. The president’s delusion, which is being enabled by congressional Republicans, is jeopardizing American national security.”
