House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) criticized the White House for not yet briefing the “Gang of Eight” on Capitol Hill over the strikes in Iran that took place Saturday night.
The “Gang of Eight” consists of the top members in both chambers, including Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), and Jeffries, along with the top members of the House and Senate Intelligence committees. Jeffries said the group has yet to be briefed on the strikes aside from “courtesy calls” that the four members of leadership received.
