Sen. Tom Cotton accused Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin of withholding information from Congress about a military incident in Syria in order to avoid influencing a vote.
Sen. Tom Cotton, R.-Ark., reviews President Biden's call for an assault weapons ban following the Nashville school shooting on 'Special Report.'
Cotton claimed the delay was a"conscious decision" to influence the Senate as it was voting on repealing the 1991 and 2002 authorizations for use of military force in Iraq. Cotton implied that because the Biden administration wants to revoke the AUMFs, it wanted to delay news that might give lawmakers a reason to maintain them.
"Maybe you didn’t personally do it," Cotton persisted."But I believe entirely that people in your office did that."
