Democratic lawmakers who attended a classified House Intelligence Committee briefing on Tuesday said there’s no evidence of foreign adversaries or “little green men” controlling the drones that have drawn widespread attention.

But some of them said they still won’t be satisfied until more information is shared with the public.

Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi told reporters after the briefing: “Show us the data. Show us how it’s manned aircraft.”
