Overview
- Homan Security Investigations bought the device in a late-Biden undercover purchase using Pentagon funds, paying in the eight-figure range, sources said.
- Defense officials have spent more than a year testing the equipment and briefed House and Senate Intelligence Committees late last year.
- Sources describe the device as producing pulsed radio waves, containing some Russian components, and being small enough to fit in a backpack.
- Investigators remain divided over any link to anomalous health incidents, as the intelligence community’s 2023 assessment judged a foreign campaign unlikely.
- The CIA declined to comment, the Pentagon and DHS were asked for comment, and reporters have not learned where the device was obtained.
