A pair of planned congressional briefings on the volatile situation in the Middle East have been postponed, according to four people granted anonymity to describe the private plans.
The House and Senate were set to receive separate all-member briefings Tuesday afternoon from a group of top aides to President Donald Trump, including Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Joint Chiefs Chair Dan Caine.
The Senate briefing has been rescheduled for Thursday, one of the people said. The rescheduling comes as a Trump-brokered cease-fire between Iran and Israel hangs by a thread and as Trump and other top national security officials travel to the Netherlands for the yearly NATO summit.
