‘National Security’ Officials Who Endorsed Harris Tied To Intel Agencies, Defense Contractors
SUMMARY
Over 700 members of the National Security Leaders for America (NSL4A) endorsed Kamala Harris for president, with many signatories tied to defense contractors and organizations advocating U.S. military involvement. Key figures like former Secretaries of State John Kerry and Hillary Clinton, who supported the Iraq invasion, are among the endorsers. The conflict resulted in $140 billion in profits for private contractors, according to CNN. Several officials are linked to defense giants like Lockheed Martin and Raytheon. For instance, former CIA Director John Deutch served on Raytheon’s board, while Jeh Johnson, former Homeland Security Secretary, sits on Lockheed’s board. The letter praises Harris’s support for Ukraine but overlooks that Russia invaded Ukraine during the Biden-Harris administration.
