Republican Representative Mike Turner of Ohio spoke on CBS's "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" on August 2, 2026, covering several key issues.

Turner expressed that, despite ongoing reviews related to conflicts in Europe, Iran, and Ukraine, the administration could be sharing more information with Congress. He noted that both the House and Senate have indicated the Pentagon needs to improve transparency. Reflecting on earlier criticism from March, Turner said the administration was "not giving enough detail."

Regarding Iran, Secretary Hegseth stated that Iran has shown no willingness to honestly negotiate. The International Atomic Energy Agency reported that they were weeks away from a critical point based on conditions before the "Epic Fury" event. Turner commented on the difficulty of sharing sensitive technology, saying, "We're talking about it, but it's a hard thing to do to give away that kind of technology."

On a political note, Turner addressed allegations against his Ohio colleague Max Miller. According to the latest court filing, Miller has been accused of domestic abuse. The filing alleges Miller shoved his then-wife, held a gun to her head, poured hot water on her, and there are concerns he may have broken their two-year-old daughter's collarbone, as detailed in police reports and court documents.
