The Trump administration has come under fire for excluding Democrats from classified briefings regarding military strikes on alleged drug boats off the coast of Venezuela. Senators, including Mark Warner, have expressed outrage over the lack of transparency and the decision to provide secret details of these operations exclusively to Republican senators. Analysts and critics argue that the administration is setting a troubling precedent by conducting strikes with insufficient congressional oversight and have raised alarms regarding the legality and morality of such military actions. Calls for accountability and inclusion in national security discussions continue to escalate amid bipartisan concerns over these covert operations.
