"At a press conference on Monday evening, President Trump said his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, was one of a handful of top advisers who convinced him to launch major combat operations in Iran. The disclosure raises additional questions about the role of Kushner, who is being paid tens of millions of dollars annually by Middle Eastern governments that were reportedly lobbying Trump to attack Iran."

"Everything I was taught, everything I came to believe has more or less been turned upside down. Politicalization of intelligence, the notion that there is no national interest today. It's now been conflated and completely subordinated to Donald Trump's personal whims, fancies, his financial interests, the amount of self-dealing. He's deployed his son-in-law and his best friend."

"Trump started a war just because he thought he could — without asking Congress for authorization or building any public consent.
It’s one of the most irresponsible decisions made by a U.S. president in modern history."
