White House Cites Briefings; Lawmakers Seek Answers | JQJO

The Trump administration says it has delivered seven classified briefings on U.S. strikes against alleged drug boats since early September, covering congressional leaders and committees, but lawmakers say crucial answers are still missing. A Democratic Senate aide called the tally misleading; a GOP House aide said his panel received three briefings. Sen. Mark Kelly said evidence didn’t support all administration claims or legal rationale. House Armed Services’ Adam Smith reported no answers and urged a hearing, complicated by the House schedule. Sen. Lindsey Graham said land strikes are possible and promised Congress would be briefed on potential operations.
