“His answer: We have to study it,” Sen Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said of Hegseth’s response. “Well, in my view, they’ve studied it long enough…. Congress ought to be able to see it.”The closed-door discussion also included Secy of #State #MarcoRubio; #JohnRatcliffe, the #CIA director; & Gen #DanCaine, the chair of the #JointChiefs of Staff. It centered on the 22 known boat strikes in the #Caribbean & eastern #Pacific that the #Trump admin has carried out since early Sept….#law #Hegseth
