Sen. Johnson at Foreign Relations hearing on North Korea

Published | Video Starts at 03:51

Earlier when you were answering questions from our chairman, you said that you cannot describe some of these sanctions in this setting. I just want to ask first of all, why. … Sanctions on individual North Korean leaders were effective but were relaxed. … What has the history been? Where are we now versus where we were during the Bush administration? And then the final question is what's classified about that? What's censored about that? (03:51–04:08)

CLAIM

Asserts that sanctions on individual North Korean leaders were effective but later relaxed.
