Pelosi Statement on Cancelation of Bipartisan Classified Member Briefing

June 24, 2025 Press Release Washington, D.C. – Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi released the following statement on the Trump Administration's cancelation of a bipartisan classified Member briefing on Israel-Iran: “The decision of this Administration to withhold intelligence and cancel today’s scheduled bipartisan classified Member briefing — which was already long overdue — is a slap in the face to the Congress of the United States. “We must all exercise our best judgement in how we prevent Iran from having a nuclear weapon and honor our relationship with Israel in the interest of our national security. The unjustified cancellation of this briefing by the Trump Administration is an intolerable insult to their co-equal branch of government and the Constitutional requirement that the President comes to Congress before going to war. “The President owes the American people an explanation on why his Administration is keeping them and their Representatives in the dark.”
