Democratic lawmakers fumed Wednesday after the Trump administration decided to limit sharing classified information with Congress on the heels of a humiliating intelligence leak.
The administration said it would limit posting on the Capitol Network, a system where lawmakers can access classified information, one day after a defense agency’s preliminary assessment of the U.S. strikes on Iran was leaked to the media. The decision was first reported by Axios and confirmed to the Daily Beast by a White House official.
An early report by the Defense Intelligence Agency, leaked Tuesday to CNN and The New York Times, assessed that President Donald Trump’s attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities over the weekend did not “obliterate” the targets, as he has repeatedly claimed, but at most set back the Iranian nuclear program by just a few months.
