John Kirby on What He Can Say About “Anti-Satellite Capability That Russia Is Developing”

Jacqui: Your statement just now seemed to push back on Turner’s call for the administration to declassify this information and the fact that he made that desire public. But the intelligence community put out a notice about an hour ago that the language was preapproved by the Biden administration. So, are you saying that the language that he put out in his statement on social media was outside of what ODNI approved?

MR. KIRBY: What I’m going to tell you, Jacqui, is that … we would eventually get to a point where we would downgrade and declassify. So, we were already on the — sort of the arc of that — that — that process when, yesterday, this information regrettably found its way into the public domain in advance of our ability to do this according to process.

Jacqui: How was it “regrettably,” though, if the administration had been working with — with the committee to approve language that would make all of this known to all members of Congress?

MR. KIRBY: If there’s an — if there’s a presumption here that somehow the administration gave a green light for this information to get public yesterday, that is false … Now is not that time for us to go into any more detail about this.

Jacqui: yesterday, officials pushed back on the characterization that allies and partners had not been informed and said that they had been informed. When did that happen?

MR. KIRBY: We are in the process — again, which is why we’re not going to be downgrading everything here today. We are in the process of consulting with allies and partners. We are in the process with engaging with Russia about this.
