President Trump mocked a law that requires Congress be given consent before the U.S. can engage in an armed conflict, alleging Thursday that Democrats would leak sensitive national security information if it were shared with them.
"Soleimani was actively planning new attacks, and he was looking very seriously at our embassies, and not just the embassy in Baghdad," Trump said.Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., said ahead of the rally that"none of the facts presented at the classified briefing supported" Trump's claim about a plot to blow up the embassy in Baghdad.
The administration has sent out mixed messages about the nature of the attack it says Soleimani was plotting, which the White House initially said was"imminent."adopt a war powers resolutionThe five-page non-binding resolution, sponsored by freshman Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., a former CIA analyst, emphasizes that if a president wants to take the United States to war, he or she must get authorization from Congress.
Trump also took fresh aim on Thursday at a 2020 rival, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who has consistently remained near the top of Democratic presidential primary polling. The Trump campaign ratcheted up its focus on Sanders this week, blasting two back-to-back emails labeling the senator a"wealthy, fossil-fuel guzzling millionaire" who"can't be trusted to defend American lives.
