Days after Trump claimed the US killed Iran's top military general because he was targeting four US embassies, two of the President's top national security officials are declining to provide evidence of the intelligence used to justify the drone strike

In interviews that aired Sunday, Defense Secretary Mark Esper and national security adviser Robert O'Brien both did not cite specific intelligence information when pressed by their interviewers. Trump said in an interview Friday that he approved the military attack earlier this month that killed Qasem Soleimani because he believed the Iranian general was targeting the embassies.

Aaron David Miller, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, told CNN last week that the administration's"public messaging has raised all kinds of questions about whether or not there was sufficient motivation to launch an attack to kill arguable the second most powerful and important man in Iran.

Haven’t they fabricated any evidence yet? Maybe in time for the Sunday shows.

If your hatred for our President has you protesting or questioning the killing of someone who was personally responsible for the killing of 600 Americans you really need to examine your mental health.

DID ANYBODY THINK THEY WOULD? Are you guys rookies? Why must we keep asking stupid questions we already know the answers to are we going to be surprised when all the records regarding Trump’s administration get accidentally destroyed upon his leaving?

Capitalist would never have an evidence to start a war. Tony Blair and bush didn't have one

They can't provide what they don't have 🧐🤫🤥

CVMINC so...

Why have they denied entry by Iran diplomats to the UN? That is illegal. If the US cannot abide by the original rules set out, they should forfeit the right to host the UN on its soil. It should move to China.

He was a TERRORIST

SMH

Bad guy dead awesome job president trump

Provide to who exactly? CNN?

Tweetle Don.

Your Alice in Wonderland technique is no longer going to work! AMERICANS are waking up to the truth and are starting to see the fake reality you and MSM/CIA ARE TRYING TO PUSH!

Its classified information please

Lies all lies they learned well from the king of lies...

Because Trump lied.

Because there’s none...

So Soleimani isn't dead Who Killed him? Fake News has such hatred for Trump they will support Terrorist! Why? Because Trump put a 20 year halt on their plan for the government take over of every aspect of American LIFE! TRUMP 2020!!

So?

Did the generals act stupidly?

Makes a big difference if there is no imminent danger then it was an unlawful attack on the part of the US.

Since when does the king have to supply evidence.

Do you think the General was in Baghdad for the wonderful shopping?

You gonna kill anybody else with no evidence!!! We want the evidence that it was justified that you killed this guy!!! Proof!!!!

They just killed the guy for something to do mo proof nothing!! Trump has 176 deaths on his hands he started this. They were protesting at the embassy did they kill anyone NO!!! So you had to kill this guy for what!!! You started it and you are responsible for their deaths!!!

CNN still crying for a terrorist.

And who gives a fk

Yet the terrorist murderer was just that. Cheered his demise. You seem to love Terrorist empire

CaptainMeowmori It’s called “intelligence”, something that CNN rarely traffics in.

So in other words, u are calling them a liar. Where were your claims against Obama when he committed drone strikes?

Meanwhile.....

Fake news

Russia 3.0

Whatever the west is doing(especially the United States) they should have in mind that the rest of the world would be affected by their actions. A clear example is what happened to the Ukrainian aircraft in Tehran. The world is watching

Because they don't want to confirm Trump's lies. It's really simple

Maybe it would expose and put people in danger but since you are calling everyone who put their lives on the line finding these terrorists and you call the pentagon liars too no wonder they don’t say

A terrorist is dead, be happy

Criminal News Network how about y'all do some actual journalism and find out for yourself what everyone else already knows?
