Two of the top Democrats on the Senate's Intelligence Committee want President Joe Biden to review a Trump administration decision to uproot U.S. Space Command from Colorado Springs over feared negative impacts to the nation's spy agencies.
Intelligence chairman U.S. Sen. Mark Warner, a Virginia Democrat and Colorado's Democratic U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet, a member of the spy panel, sent the letter to Biden Tuesday morning saying they're worried moving the command to Huntsville, Ala., "did not take into account how such a move may affect Intelligence community dependencies and missions."
The Pentagon announced the Alabama move Jan. 13 and sources have told The Gazette and other news outlets that President Donald Trump picked Alabama over objections from senior Pentagon leaders.
