The following is the transcript of an interview with Rep. Mike Turner on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" that aired on Jan. 26, 2025.

Rep. Mike Turner, the former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said TikTok "remains a national security threat" despite President Trump's effort to maintain access to the popular video-sharing app in recent days.

Speaking on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” Turner (R-Ohio) expressed concerns that the panel might, with encouragement from Speaker Mike Johnson, focus too much on internal enemies at the expense of powerful countries than can do America harm.

Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio) spoke with Margaret Brennan on Face the Nation Sunday about the CIA report on the origins of COVID, President Trump's firing of inspectors generals, TikTok and House Speaker Mike Johnson ousting him from the House Intelligence Committee.

Commenting to reporters, Johnson deflected blame away from the returning president, saying, “This is not a President Trump decision; this is a House decision.” He also said the decision was “no slight” to Turner, who had “performed valiantly in a difficult time under difficult circumstances.”
