Democrats Vow to Stall Senate Until Trump Team Explains Iran War

Several Senate Democrats are threatening to force numerous war powers votes and otherwise disrupt the chamber unless Republicans agree to hold public hearings with key Trump administration officials on the reasons for the attacks on Iran.

A group of Democrats, including New Jersey’s Cory Booker and Virginia’s Tim Kaine, told reporters late Monday that they would insist on the open hearings with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, expressing frustration that all briefings to-date have been classified and behind closed doors.
