Leader Schumer Statement After Trump Admin Delivers Delayed And Deficient Briefing To Congress On Iran Peace Talks

New York, N.Y. - Today, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) released the following statement after Trump administration officials briefed Senators on the Iran peace talks:

"Today's briefing was delayed, deficient, and devoid of details.

"After dragging America into a costly war, the Trump administration still can't name a single thing Americans got in return. Instead, Secretary Rubio confirmed to me that Iran will reap billions in oil revenue while retaining dangerous leverage over the Strait of Hormuz.

"If this is the administration's defense behind closed doors, Secretary Rubio should make it under oath, in public, before the Foreign Relations Committee.

"Americans are paying the price for Trump's war. They deserve answers, not this Administration's nonstop excuses."
