Mo Brooks: Claim That Deadly Yemen Raid Was a Bust Is 'Fake News'

A report that a recent U.S. raid in Yemen in which dozens were killed garnered no valuable intelligence are "made up fake news," Rep. Mop Brooks, a member of Armed Service & Foreign Affairs Committees, tells Newsmax TV.

"It's just fake news by the news media. They have no idea whether there was good intelligence gained or not," Brooks, an Alabama Republican, said Friday to Steve Malzberg on "America Talks Live."

"They do not have access to that kind of classified information, so in effect, probably out of partisanship more than anything else, the news media is just making it up pretty much out of thin air or based on rumors and gossip as opposed to substantive evidence."
