Summary
Marco Rubio said a "foreign actor" was clearly involved in a serious incident in the UK over the weekend, adding that what happened — and what almost happened — was grave.
Fox News' "Hannity" interview gave no operational details, with Rubio saying he could not discuss more on air for multiple reasons.
Some people under investigation have already been released on bail, a point Rubio said had disturbed many and was part of ongoing US engagement with British authorities.
UK authorities were "very co-operative and on top of it," Rubio said, framing the case as a sensitive cross-border security matter with potentially wider implications.
