Something odd here.

CBS News confirms other media reports: "Hegseth has issued a directive to U.S. Cyber Command to pause planning against Russia, including offensive digital actions."

The CBS News then notes that National Security Advisor Michael Waltz said he's unaware of the directive.

2/ "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, "That has not been part of our discussions.'"

3/ It gets odder.

Here's Rep. Mike Turner Sunday morning on CBS flabbergasted by the question. Says he's unaware of directive. He considers it literally inconceivable that Hegseth would issue such a directive.

Yet CBS News just reaffirmed the reporting on the Hegseth directive.

4/ Rep Turner: "I can't- I don't- no, I'm unaware of that and I don't believe that."

"I am confident considering what Russia is currently doing against the United States, the United States status against Russia would not be that-- considering what we are facing from Russia operations."
