The Trump administration recently held a briefing for Republicans about U.S. military strikes against suspected drug boats without informing Democratic members of Congress. This led to sharp criticism from Senator Mark Warner, vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Warner called the Democrats’ expulsion a “partisan action” that disrespected Congress’ war powers and the men and women who serve the country.
During the briefing, administration officials presented Republicans with a secret Justice Department memo that laid out the legal rationale for the strikes. Warner demanded that Democrats immediately receive the same briefing and OLC opinion because decisions about the use of American military forces are not campaign strategies and are not the private property of a political party.
Warner’s comments come as the Trump administration is accelerating its attacks on boats allegedly involved in the drug trade. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the U.S. military recently carried out another strike against a ship in the Pacific, killing four people. This operation marks the 14th known U.S. military strike on a suspected drug smuggling ship.
The Trump administration claims it has already held seven separate classified briefings about U.S. military strikes on suspected drug boats. However, some lawmakers said they did not receive the information they wanted. A Democratic Senate staffer said the administration appeared to have given the same briefing multiple times to specific staff or members, making the figure of seven briefings misleading.
