Pelosi slams White House's War Powers notification on Soleimani strike

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Saturday criticized the White House’s classified War Powers notification to Congress for the attack that killed Iranian military leader Qassem Soleimani, saying it "raises more questions than it answers."

“This document prompts serious and urgent questions about the timing, manner and justification of the Administration’s decision to engage in hostilities against Iran,” Pelosi said in a statement.

Pelosi, who criticized President Donald Trump on Friday for not coming to Congress beforehand, reiterated her call for the White House to provide a full briefing to lawmakers of the fatal drone strike and the U.S.'s potentially deeper involvement in the region.

“This initiation of hostilities was taken without an Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) against Iran, without the consultation of the Congress and without the articulation of a clear and legitimate strategy to either the Congress or the public,” she added.
