There is no greater priority to Secretary Hegseth than the safety of the Warfighter in all operations, to include the cyber domain.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Asked about the pause on &#8220;Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan&#8221; on Sunday morning, Republican Rep. Mike Turner of Ohio said, &#8220;I&#8217;m unaware of that. I don&#8217;t believe \u2014  there are too many, I&#8217;m certain, considerations there for that to be an accurate statement so blanket.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When pressed, Turner, who sits on the House Armed Services Committee and is the former chair of the House Intelligence Committee, said, &#8220;Considering what I know, what Russia is currently doing against the United States, that would I&#8217;m certain not be an accurate statement of the current status of the Unites States operations.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On CNN State of the Union, national security adviser Mike Waltz said he was also unaware of the directive. Asked whether there were talks about pausing offensive cyber operations against Russia, Waltz said, &#8220;That has not been part of our discussions. There will be all kinds of carrots and sticks to get this war to an end.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \"\/><!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/james-laporta\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">James LaPorta<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__image\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/james-laporta\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><br \/>\n              <span class=\"img \"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/01\/24\/a2441e09-5144-407e-b68d-79e389d37918\/thumbnail\/80x80\/4679932f499cb626e77f397603535bbc\/1737681060794.jpg?v=8de240724d7f6d8b5f54f62bb158c012#\" alt=\"1737681060794.jpg \" height=\"80\" width=\"80\" class=\" lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/01\/24\/a2441e09-5144-407e-b68d-79e389d37918\/thumbnail\/80x80\/4679932f499cb626e77f397603535bbc\/1737681060794.jpg?v=8de240724d7f6d8b5f54f62bb158c012 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/01\/24\/a2441e09-5144-407e-b68d-79e389d37918\/thumbnail\/160x160\/d14b384a71c5a4a56edfecc027405fe6\/1737681060794.jpg?v=8de240724d7f6d8b5f54f62bb158c012 2x\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%2080%2080'%2F%3E\"\/><\/span><br \/>\n            <\/a>\n          <\/div>\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">James LaPorta is a verification producer with CBS News Confirmed.
