Rep. Mike Turner, an Ohio Republican, said the Trump administration should provide Congress with more information about Iran. Speaking Sunday on CBS's "Face the Nation," Turner suggested the administration could do more to keep lawmakers informed as tensions and policy questions around Iran remain in focus.
His comments point to a familiar issue in Washington: how much the executive branch shares with Congress on major foreign policy and national security matters. Turner did not indicate that no information had been provided, but he made clear he believes Congress should be receiving more.
The remarks also highlight the role lawmakers expect to play in oversight when the White House is handling sensitive international issues. On Iran, that can include briefings, strategy updates and a clearer explanation of how the administration is approaching developments.
Turner's appearance adds to the broader debate over transparency between the administration and Congress. As discussions over Iran continue, his comments underscore pressure from Capitol Hill for more direct communication with lawmakers.
