White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt demanded CNN retract a story on Sunday that claimed Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries were not briefed on President Donald Trump’s strike on Iran.
Trump launched "Operation: Midnight Hammer" on Saturday and struck three of Iran’s key nuclear facilities in a surprise attack. The White House announced the success of the attack later that night.
CNN reported that House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, both Republicans, were briefed on the strikes ahead of time, with Schumer and Jeffries, both Democrats, receiving notifications only before the public announcement and well after the attack.
Leavitt called the report "fake news" on X.
"This is Fake News. The White House made bipartisan courtesy calls to Congressional Leadership and spoke to @SenSchumer before the strike. @RepJeffries could not be reached until after, but he was briefed. @CNN please retract," Leavitt wrote.
Fox News Digital reached out to Schumer and Jeffries’ offices for comment.
The CNN report added that Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., and Rep. Jim Himes, D-Ct., who are members of the intelligence committees in the Senate and House respectively, were not told until after the strikes.
CNN didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Both Schumer and Jeffries released statements over the weekend condemning Trump for the strikes on Iran.

| "Both Schumer and Jeffries released statements over the weekend condemning Trump for the strikes on Iran." * * * Schumer and the Democrats are merely spelling the doom of their party by criticizing Trump for this lightning strike to destroy Iran's nuclear bomb capability. This will keep MAGA in power for another 7 years at least. Hegseth, Rubio, and Vance are already proving their Presidential skills as Gruesome sips Napa wine while Los Angeles riots burns amid the waving of Mexican flags. |
Of course, otherwise Iran would have known about the attack beforehand.
That’s a good comparison and contrast.
Correct. Remember Mark Milley, and the fact that he actually (!) stated that he would give his Chinese counterpart an early notice if Trump were to launch an attack on China. This, by any measure, was outright treason. The harsh reality is that Milley should have been executed as a result. He wasn’t. So we now have to operate knowing that there are emboldened traitors at the highest levels.
With RAT leakers a dime a dozen, there are some things Americans want kept secret and away from the far left propaganda types.
