## Summary

Sen Ted Cruz has claimed that Abdul El-Sayed could put Americans at risk if elected to the US Senate and appointed to its Intelligence Committee. He alleged, without providing evidence in the article, that El-Sayed might disclose intelligence about counter-terrorism operations; the remarks came as Cruz campaigned for El-Sayed’s opponent, Mike Rogers.

Cruz said the committee has access to closely guarded secrets and argued that disclosure could endanger service personnel and covert operatives. El-Sayed has said he has never been, and never will be, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, and that he wants to serve the United States and uphold the Constitution. He is running against Trump-backed former representative Rogers in Michigan; neither campaign immediately responded to requests for comment.
