Schiff on CNN – Decision to Kill Soleimani Reckless and Increased Risk to Americans Around the World

On Sunday, January 5, 2020, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, joined CNN State of the Union with Jake Tapper to discuss the decision by President Trump to target and kill Iranian General Qasem Soleimani, the briefing the Chairman received on the intelligence surrounding that decision, and possible repercussions for the United States. Schiff also discussed the upcoming impeachment trial for the President on his abuse of power.


During the interview, Schiff said:

“I think it was a reckless decision that increased the risk to Americans all around the world, not decreased it. …I haven't seen intelligence that taking out Soleimani was going to either stop the plotting that's going on or decrease other risks to the United States. And, in fact, we're already seeing serious strategic repercussions."
