Chuck Schumer Slams Trumps Actions in Venezuela

Published | Video Starts at 07:54

We need full and transparent briefings from the Pentagon. And most importantly, the committees should continue to demand Secretary Hegseth release, release the tapes. This is such a serious matter that Secretary Hegseth himself should come before the Congress to testify under oath about the nature of his order, the evidence supporting the strikes, and an explanation for what the goals are in Venezuela. With our troops standing on a knife's edge in the Caribbean, we need a Secretary of defense who can prove himself to be serious, sober minded, and someone of high character. (07:54–08:08)
