A House Intelligence Committee public hearing scheduled for next week has been canceled, pushing back the U.S. intelligence community's presentation on the top threats facing America.
"We are still having productive discussions with the committees on the timing of the Worldwide Threat Assessment hearings," a spokesperson for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) told CBS News Friday.

Historically, the annual hearing takes place during the first half of the year. Since it includes the convening of the Director of National Intelligence and the heads of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), National Security Agency (NSA), the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), scheduling of the hearing can sometimes take a while.

"We need the American people to know what the threats are and then justify why we're investing in protecting people from those threats," Swalwell said. "They need to answer to congress and we're going to keep pressing."
