Office of Congressman Seth Moulton

Ad copy

Today, at a classified HASC briefing on recent counternarcotics operations in the Pacific and Caribbean, the Pentagon pulled its lawyers - the exact people who would supply a legal justification for these strikes - from the briefing with no notice. If the Trump Administration thinks these strikes are legally justified, hiding from Congress sends the opposite message. -SWM
