President Donald Trump’s top intelligence officials will brief House members on Wednesday on global threats facing the US, where it is likely they will be questioned again over use of a group text to discuss plans for military strikes in Yemen.

CIA director John Ratcliffe, director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and FBI director Kash Patel are among those who were asked to testify before the House Intelligence Committee as part of its annual review of threats facing the US.
