Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is questioning what President Trump is "hiding" after the White House decided to limit the classified intel it shares with Congress. The decision was made after an alleged leak of intelligence earlier this week. Democrats see this as an attempt by the White House to stonewall Congress about the Iran conflict. The White House claims it is "declaring a war on leakers" due to frequent leaks of classified information. Administration sources say that as soon as they share intel with Congress, it leaks. Democrats are upset about the decision, with some suggesting that the White House is trying to hide bad news about the Iran nuclear program. However, Republicans argue that leaks are a problem and that Congress cannot be trusted to keep quiet and respect the rules. House Speaker Mike Johnson warned that there will be a "price to pay" for the leaks. Republicans on the House Intel committee are also furious about the breach of rules and protocols. Despite the controversy, House Intel chair Rick Crawford vowed to continue working with the Administration to ensure Congress is fully informed.
