Mason City, Iowa — Iowa Congresswoman Ashley Hinson says she’s concerned after a Massachusetts Air National Guardsman was arrested at his home for allegedly disclosing classified military documents about the Ukraine war and other top national security issues.
Hinson says the person knew there were consequences with his alleged actions, but questions need to be raised about national security and it’s concerning that the system failed and the documents were leaked.
Hinson, a Republican from Marion, recently met with the president of Taiwan. She says the US has to take steps to keep China from invading the country.
She says keeping up trade ties with Taiwan will also help.
Hinson made her comments during a stop in Mason City and on a conference call with reporters.
