House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday demanded a briefing on the U.S. military strike that killed Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, a raid in which President Trump said Congress leaders were intentionally left out of the loop.
“The House must be briefed on this raid, which the Russians but not top Congressional Leadership were notified of in advance, and on the Administration’s overall strategy in the region,” she said in a statement. “Our military and allies deserve strong, smart and strategic leadership from Washington.”
In announcing the major takedown in the fight against the Islamic State or ISIS, Mr. Trump singled out Mrs. Pelosi when saying congressional leaders couldn’t be trusted in the planning of the attack in Syria.

She was debriefed on Sunday. All she has to do is listen to his speech. Anything else, she won't be able to comprehend.
Pole-low-ski is a clown and a joke...
I would not brief the House on what day it is. Pelosi would only say it was obstruction of justice.
And a communist
I demand that she STFU !!!
Ignore her and make her very angry. Maybe she will pout and throw a tantrum.
Nancy and crew would have warned Al-Baghdadi that the raid was coming. Just like they do in sanctuary cities.
11:12 AM, I rather imagine that is exactly why she was not briefed. Who the hell does she think she is anyway, she is not running this country, President Trump is, thank God for that!!
Congress is a body equal to the Executive branch. I'm sorry , we now live in a banana republic
The President is still Commander in Cheif of "all" military forces, not Congress nor the Supreme court. He decides what is and is not top secret when it comes to the military. Not Pelosi not Schiff not the Supreme court. He is under no obligation to tell them anything!

You do know that the presidency has two functions, don't you? One is the executive / administrative function, and the other is Command-in-Chief of the armed forces. The president shares that power with nobody. Trump did not declare war on anybody except the one we are already at war with (ISIS) Trump carried out his duties as Commander-in-Chief in having the military conduct the raid in Syria. Congress already KNOWS we are at war with ISIS, wherever they are on this planet. Trump has NO obligation or duty under the law or the constitution to inform the Speaker of the house of the plans to conduct highly sensitive operations against our enemies. If he did, it would be a courtesy, and Pelosi, of all people, deserves no courtesy from Trump. She would have done everything in her power to see that Trump was not successful, like she has been doing for the last three years. It was the absolute right thing to do to that power hungry traitor to the American people. He owes her nothing.
