Other American officials suggested the Israeli report could be an effort to sway Trump’s decision-making as he weighs whether to intensify American military action against Iran.
The details of the plot that Israel warned about were not immediately clear, and two sources familiar with the matter said the US had not vetted it themselves.

Following that meeting, a late-night vote was held to try to appease him. That war powers resolution failed by a vote of 47-50-1 just before midnight, and the Senate then left town for a two-week recess.
A similar war powers resolution had passed in the Senate on Tuesday by a vote of 50-48. Continue reading “Senate Republicans U-Turn On War Powers Resolution After Being Chastised By Trump”
