Congressional leaders, emerging Monday from a classified briefing on Venezuela, offered sharply contrasting takes on both the president’s odds of overhauling that country’s government and whether leaving Congress out of the decision to strike was constitutional.
The full House and Senate are expected to be briefed behind closed doors this week on the Jan. 3 operation that extracted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro from Caracas and brought him to the United States.
Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., told reporters after Monday night’s classified briefing for a select group of lawmakers that he expects all-members briefings to take place Wednesday.
