(CNN) Rep. Mike Turner of Ohio, the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, said the panel's chairman, Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff of California, has requested that members receive a negative Covid test before they participate in an upcoming committee briefing. Turner, however, said Republicans on the committee will not comply with Schiff's request. "The American public does not have this privilege, and we will not comply," Turner said at a GOP news conference on Wednesday. While Schiff has requested a negative test from members, is it not required. This is just the latest example of how Republicans are defying the stepped-up health protocols in the Capitol, much to the frustration of Democrats.
