Evening Edition: Rep. Mast Defends Venezuela Drug Boat Bombings, ‘Double Tap’ Strike

Admiral Frank Bradley is set to be questioned by lawmakers on Capitol Hill this week about the military strikes on suspected cartel boats in the Caribbean, following reports that he was in charge of a September 2nd “double tap” strike–where allegedly two wounded men were killed after the initial strike.

The Trump administration has been ramping up pressure on Venezuela and President Nicolás Maduro, accusing the country of flooding America with drugs.

Congress has been at odds over how the Trump administration has handled Maduro. The majority of Republicans are backing the President, while Democrats allege that the Commander-in-Chief is steering the U.S. toward a foreign war.

House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Brian Mast joins the FOX News Rundown: Evening Edition to discuss the escalating conflict with Venezuela, as well as the Pentagon watchdog report on ‘Signalgate’ and his bill that he says will help honor the sacrifice of American troops.
