senator, you describe this idea that you go into these briefings and aren t getting a lot of information from the white house. the white house rejecting documents request. what strategy do you think democrats in particular in congress should take to get more answers out of the white house and do you think people around the president people who aren t working at the white house who can t claim executive privilege what should congress do to press those people for ans? one of the things they can do is demand these hearings be in public than classified. if the american people so you how little information we re getting there would be more general outrage and more conversation amongst people like you. you have to rely on us to report that we re not getting anything useful. we don t have to wait for the president. we don t have to wait for more information. we can pass sanctions on saudi arabia or on mohammad bin salman. we can pull the united states out of the war inside yemen. we can p
