Hakeem Jeffries demands that Trump “justify” our strike against Iran

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries demands a president Donald Trump His senior officials have “justified” the recent strikes of the US military in Iran.

“To date, we have seen no evidence that an offensive strike of this nature was justified under the War Power Act or the Constitution,” Jeffries said.

“But the reason the Trump administration is taking on the process is to come to Capitol Hill and convince the American people and their elected representatives in the home and in the Senate. That didn’t happen.”

Trump officials have argued that the strike is in compliance with the War Power Act. This requires the White House to notify Congress within 48 hours of military action, preventing the operation from lasting more than 60 days without the approval of lawmakers.

Jeffries claimed he had never seen a “previous scintillage of evidence” indicating that there was “immediate threat to the United States.”

“If the administration has evidence to the contrary, it comes to present it. We’re not difficult to find. I’m not hiding,” he said.

Meanwhile, Jeffries lays multiple questions about the call for each during his press conference, reaffirming his request that Trump officials come before Congress instead.

“The tool currently on the table is to continue to require the administration to present itself before the US Congress and to assert the American people about why this extraordinary step was taken. That’s Step 1,” Jeffries said.

“Step 2 is about a resolution of war power, whether it should occur after that, as it should have occurred, as it was already supposed to occur on the house floor, whether it was already introduced or anyone else who could have been introduced thereafter.

I pressed again whether he was taking it I’m looking for a card bullet each Seriously, Jeffries said, “This is a dangerous moment where we are and we have to overcome what is right in front of us. And what is right in front of us is the responsibility of the Trump administration to come to Congress and justify the actions that have seen evidence that justify the offensive strength in Iran.”

“The White House called Congressional leaders. They were a bipartisan call. In fact, Hakeum Jeffries couldn’t get in touch. We tried him before the strike, but we didn’t pick up the phone, but he was later explained (Senator Chuck Schumer, DN.Y.) and was explained before the strike.”

“We gave these calls as courtesy. Democrats are lying about this because they can’t speak about the truth about the success of that operation and the success of our US military, and the success of this president and past administrations (to do what Democrats too have dreamed of.”
