(Worthy News) – Congressional leaders received a classified briefing on Iran from the White House Thursday following criticism that lawmakers have been kept out of the loop about recent military moves in the Middle East.
Members of the so-called Gang of Eight were tight-lipped as they left the briefing. The ranking member of the Senate intelligence committee, Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, refused to comment on the classified information discussed but said more lawmakers should be informed of the Iran threat.
Classified briefings on Iran will also be given next week to the full House and Senate. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
