Trump learned not to trust the fucks to keep secrets. I applaud.President Donald Trump and his team were in contact with top congressional Republicans before his strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, but top Democrats were not told of his plans until after the bombs had dropped, according to multiple people familiar with the plans.
The top two Republicans in Congress, Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, were both notified ahead of the strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, according to multiple GOP sources.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries was notified shortly before Trump announced the attack on Truth Social — but after the attack occurred, according to a person familiar with the discussions.
Jim Himes, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, was not briefed before the strikes — even though his GOP counterpart on the panel, Chairman Rick Crawford, was in contact with the White House, per a person familiar.
Sen. Mark Warner, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, also was not briefed before the attack, per a source familiar, but the GOP chairman, Tom Cotton, was briefed.
All three Democrats are in the “Gang of Eight,” which typically would be briefed before a significant US military engagement. The Gang of Eight includes the House and Senate leaders from each party as well as the chairs and ranking members of the House and Senate intelligence committees.
