Nancy Pelosi says Trump administration’s attack on Iran ‘ignored the Constitution’

(KRON) — Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi issued a statement shortly before 8:30 p.m. Saturday in response to the U.S. military’s bombing of multiple nuclear sites in Iran.

Pelosi criticized the attack, saying that it was performed without Congressional approval and endangers American lives.

“Tonight, the president ignored the Constitution by unilaterally engaging our military without Congressional authorization,” Pelosi said. “I join my colleagues in demanding answers from the administration on this operation which endangers American lives and risks further escalation and dangerous destabilization of the region.”

Gov. Gavin Newsom also issued a statement Saturday following the attack. Click here to watch President Donald Trump’s full speech made from the White House Saturday night.
