Who?
Rep. William Timmons (R-SC) — Oversight Committee; JAG Officer; Captain in SC Air National Guard
LISTEN: Laslo & Timmons
Ask a Pol asks:

Key Timmons:
“It's becoming increasingly front and center, so I think Intel‘s gonna have to get involved. I think most of the members on the Committee have been generally unimpressed with the responses that we've gotten,” Rep. William Timmons exclusively tells Ask a Pol. “I think the Intelligence Committee will start looking into it more, because how do you not? I mean, you know, the increased frequency and degree of sightings has created a lot of buzz.”
