Senator Rand Paul Claims Exclusion from Venezuela Briefings

Senator Rand Paul says the Trump administration has not briefed him on its plans for Venezuela. Paul serves on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He stated that he has received "zero, not one briefing" on the matter. The Senator made these comments during an interview on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan." He believes his exclusion stems from his skepticism of the administration's actions. Paul suggested that officials are withholding information because he is critical of their approach. The administration's policy toward Venezuela has been a focal point of U.S. foreign affairs. This incident highlights ongoing tensions between the executive branch and some lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
