Adam Schiff Wants to Have Open Hearings to Investigate Trump’s Actions Regarding Iran

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said he wants to hold open hearings to investigate President Donald Trump’s actions regarding Iran.

In an interview with The Washington Post, Schiff said he thinks Trump’s actions could lead to war between the United States and Iran and called for Congress to “fully engage.”

“I think there should be open hearings on this subject. The president has put us on a path where we may be at war with Iran. That requires the Congress to fully engage.”

Schiff’s comments come as Iranian officials said they would stop complying with the 2015 nuclear deal and after Trump threatened to strike 52 Iranian targets if Americans are attacked.

Schiff added that he doesn’t believe the plan for a “disproportionate” response came from the Pentagon.

“None of that could come out of the Pentagon,” he said. “Absolutely no way.”

Additionally, Schiff said he wants to have open hearings to determine if intelligence showed that Soleimani was planning attacks against Americans prior to the drone strike that killed him.
