When asked what would necessitate a second wave military attack on Venezuela, as President Trump warned could still be carried out, Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Tom Cotton says, “What I took the president to mean is that what we just did with Nicolás Maduro could be done again to other Venezuelan leaders.” “I took that as the president, urging them to change their ways or face the same consequences,” Cotton (R-AR) tells @margbrennan. | CBS News

Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Ro Khanna (D-CA) say they’ll take action against the Trump administration for its partial release of the Epstein files, including using Congress’ inherent contempt powers against Attorney General Pam Bondi. “I believe we’re going to get bipartisan support in holding her accountable and a committee of Congress should determine whether these redactions are justified or not,” Khanna says. | Face The Nation

Sen. Chris Van Hollen says President Trump does not have the legal authority to attack Venezuela and says he’s sure that Congress “will have a vote on a war powers resolution probably as early as this week, if not next.” “For the most part, Republicans are happy to give Donald Trump a blank check and surrender their constitutional responsibilities to Donald Trump,” he said. | Face The Nation
