Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Saturday demanded an 'immediate' briefing after Donald Trump's administration carried out strikes in Iran, thrusting the White House back into a familiar argument in Washington about war powers, transparency and what exactly the US is trying to achieve.
Democrats say they have repeatedly been left trying to reverse engineer the administration's objectives after major national security decisions, and they argue the White House still has not laid out the 'scope and immediacy' of the threat that prompted the latest action.
