Mike Lee kisses the ring

Lee, who called last week’s Iran briefing “insulting and demeaning,” said on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that the first time he heard about a potential Iranian plot to attack four U.S. embassies was during Trump’s interview with Fox News.

“Do you have a problem with learning that on television?” host Margaret Brennan asked.

“Yes, but the problem there is not with the president the problem is with those who were briefing us,” Lee responded.

“Those who were briefings us, I believe, would have done a different job under the light of day, had television cameras been there, than they did in private where his boss couldn't see what they were saying,” he added.

“They were not helpful and they did not reflect well on the presidents great restraint that he's shown.”

“In order to know and understand where one power ends and one [begins],” Lee said, noting the Constitutional duties of the president and congress in regards to military action, “in any context we need to have a certain amount of information and an adequate amount of information was not shared with us.”
