Entire U.S. Senate to go to White House for North Korea briefing

Reuters 1 hour 34 minutes ago

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Top Trump administration officials will hold a rare briefing on Wednesday at the White House for the entire U.S. Senate on the situation in North Korea, senior Senate aides said on Monday.

All 100 senators have been asked to the White House for the briefing by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats and General Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the aides said.

While top administration officials routinely travel to Capitol Hill to address members of Congress on foreign policy and national security matters, it is unusual for the entire 100-member Senate to go to such an event at the White House, and for those four top officials to be involved.

U.S. officials have expressed mounting concern over North Korea's nuclear and missile tests, and its threats to attack the United States and its Asian allies.

President Donald Trump criticized North Korea's "continued belligerence" and said its actions were destabilizing during a telephone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Sunday, the White House said.

The briefing will take place at 3 p.m. EDT (1900 GMT).

House aides said they were working with the White House to set a similar briefing for members of the House of Representatives.

Wonder if it will be aired?

I dunno, but probably not by MSM. IF there is anything more reported on it, it would probably come from the sidelines. Would be interesting to see & hear what goes on behind those closed doors.

Wonder if it will be aired?

Don't worry, there are enough self serving anti-Trump and ultimately anti-American rats who will leak the details to the media regardless, to hell with the safety of the military. Even if they are sworn to secrecy, you know they will stir the pot for political purposes.

A sad but accurate reality in 2017.

Don't worry, with all those Senators and Congress Critters you can be sure one or two might keep their mouth shut...........

Nothing new, you won't get the truth from anyone. We'll make up some bogus bullshit for a war, we'll find out later it was bullshit, and we'll do nothing. You know, like ever since WWII.

Why the hell didn't they just walk over to the Senate building- and address the 100 senators there?

I am glad they are briefing the Senate- but I am curious as to why this is being done at the White House.

A more likely scenario is that the Trump administration will leak the details themselves- in order to get the right spin on it- and to hell with the safety of the military.

But guys, since it's from Yahoo news....it's already out there. That doesn't mean ABC, CNN, WAPO or the rest will actually do anything with it....until they can figure a good way to blame someone for it.

I don't think the daily accelerated threats from Kim is making up 'some bogus bullshit' for a war. How much longer should we just sit back & let that little bugger dance a jig before he actually follows thru with those threats & is capable of hitting the target? Just because he hasn't yet, doesn't mean he won't figure it out.

Some might say increased by 100.

I seriously doubt this has anything to do with trying to improve his ratings. This is serious business

Everything, serious or not, is about his ratings first and foremost.
