Font Size: Democratic California Rep. Adam Schiff issued a muted rebuke Friday of the Biden administration over its “notice” to congressional leaders prior to Thursday’s airstrikes in Syria. While appearing on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” Schiff was asked by host Andrea Mitchell if he, as House Intelligence Committee Chairman, was notified about the strikes before they took place. “We received a written notification shortly before the strikes. So, I would say the answer is nominally yes, but nonetheless, I don’t think the notice was adequate in the form that it was delivered,” Schiff responded. “We have remaining questions in terms of some of the legal issues around the strike that we will continue to explore, but it does look like it was a proportionate response to the Iranian-backed Shia militia attacks and the danger they posed to our troops and other coalition forces. So, it looks like a proportionate and appropriate response, but I want to know further about the justification, as well as the intel and evidence on it, and we’re pursuing that,” the congressman concluded.
