Reed Statement on September 2nd Boat Strike Briefing

WASHINGTON, DC-U.S. Senator Jack Reed (D-RI), the Ranking Member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, issued the following statement after receiving a briefing on the Trump Administration's September 2^nd boat strike in the Caribbean:

"I am deeply disturbed by what I saw this morning. The Department of Defense has no choice but to release the complete, unedited footage of the September 2nd strike, as the President has agreed to do. This briefing confirmed my worst fears about the nature of the Trump Administration's military activities, and demonstrates exactly why the Senate Armed Services Committee has repeatedly requested - and been denied - fundamental information, documents, and facts about this operation. This must and will be the only beginning of our investigation into this incident."
