The lineup included Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, FBI chief kash Patel, and CIA Director John Ratcliffe, who spoke before the House Intelligence Committee starting at 8:30 a.m. A video of the testimony is embedded on the page. The report notes that during Wednesday\u2019s hearings, Gabbard and Ratcliffe declined to say whether President Donald Trump was properly briefed on expected Iranian retaliation in the Strait of Hormuz, and Gabbard and Patel denied reports that Trump had invoked emergency powers ahead of the 2026 election. The article also mentions Secret Service security enhancements in Washington, D.C., in response to iran-related threats, and provides links to recommended stories.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">WATCH LIVE: Gabbard, Patel, and Ratcliffe return to the Hill for worldwide threat hearings Day 2<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"TVrUvtz7kxY\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"National Security Officials Testify on Global Threats to the U.S.\" width=\"696\" height=\"522\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TVrUvtz7kxY?feature=oembed&amp;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Top administration officials are returning to Capitol Hill on Thursday for the second day of congressional oversight hearings.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4475762\/secret-service-enhance-dc-security-iran-strike\/\">SECRET SERVICE ENHANCES DC SECURITY POSTURE AFTER IRAN STRIKES<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/immigration\/4495994\/democrats-move-to-force-dhs-funding-vote-without-ice-and-border-patrol\/\">Democrats move to force DHS funding vote without ICE and Border Patrol<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/4494494\/gop-fiscal-hawks-open-new-iran-war-funding\/\">GOP fiscal hawks open to new Iran war funding without spending offsets<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/4494437\/capitol-police-chief-record-breaking-budget-increase-threats-congress\/\">Capitol Police chief asks for record-breaking budget, citing 58% increase in threats to Congress<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, FBI chief Kash Patel, and CIA Director John Ratcliffe will be testifying before the House Intelligence Committee beginning at 8:30 a.m. During Wednesday&rsquo;s hearings, Gabbard and Ratcliffe refused to say whether President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/defense\/4495923\/intelligence-community-leaders-trump-briefed-strait-of-hormuz-retaliation\/\">Donald Trump was properly briefed<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tel-aviv-bombarded-with-iranian-ballistic-missiles-in-retaliatory-attack\/\" title=\"Tel Aviv bombarded with ...ian ballistic missiles in retaliatory attack\">expected retaliation<\/a> by Iran in the Strait of Hormuz.
