Sen. Mark Warner Eviscerates Trump Admin Lack of Transparency on Boat Strikes

Published | Video Starts at 16:05

Smarter members than me on legal opinions have raised concerns whether if these strikes violate international law, could they be in jeopardy? That's why you have an Office of Legal Counsel that's supposed to give the rationale and dragging your feet. We've been asking for this [Office of Legal Counsel opinion] not for days. Or weeks. But I think it's been for months since they started not sharing. That is frankly unprecedented. Promising it and then only sharing it with Republicans. When will there be such an abuse that people will say, enough? I don't know. Yes, ma'. (16:05–16:21)
