Senator Reports Ex-CIA Chief To Police Over Perceived Threat In Ongoing Confirmation Standoff

Sen. Tommy Tuberville reported former CIA Director Michael Hayden to police over a social media post that Tuberville perceived as threatening.
The incident stems from Tuberville's months-long hold on military confirmations to protest Pentagon abortion policy.
Hayden suggested Tuberville should be removed from the "human race," which critics accused of advocating assassination.
Tuberville condemned Hayden's comments, while Hayden defended his view but said he didn't mean literal physical harm.
The standoff over confirmations has been criticized by officials as a threat to military preparedness.
