White House Owes Congress Iran Plan: Rep. Vindman

Representative Eugene Vindman (D-VA), a retired US Army officer and member of the House Armed Services Committee, says the administration “owes” Congress an explanation of its Iran strategy as the conflict nears the 60-day mark, warning the ceasefire is only a temporary pause. He disputes President Trump’s claims on munitions stockpiles and calls the administration’s approach to Ukraine and Russia “all wrong” and “chaos.” Vindman also blasts Republicans over the DHS shutdown, saying the prolonged standoff caused “more chaos, more cruelty, more pain.” He speaks with Kailey Leinz on the late edition of Bloomberg’s "Balance of Power."
