Former intel chief: Record number of spies in U.S.

There are more foreign spies in the United States today than ever before, a former House intelligence chairman said Wednesday.

“There are more spies in the United States today from foreign nation states that at any time in our history,” former Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., said in comments delivered at the Heritage Foundation. Rogers served in the House from 2001-15, and as chairman of the Select Committee on Intelligence from 2011 until his retirement last year.
