U.S. lawmakers will receive a classified briefing on the recent U.S. strikes on nuclear development facilities in Iran.
CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, along with Gen. Dan Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, will deliver a briefing to both chambers of Congress on Tuesday.
Lawmakers publicly sought answers from the Trump administration following the strikes, concerning both the U.S. operation and Iran's response to it.
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said the president is legally obliged to consult with Congress, and noted that lawmakers weren't alerted to the U.S. strikes over the weekend.
