Who is the “Gang of Eight”? Trump insider briefed on Iran days before U.S. attack

Mike Johnson said the Gang of Eight received a detailed briefing earlier this week on possible U.S. military action against Iran. The “Gang of Eight” includes the top Republican and Democratic leaders in the Senate and House of Representatives. The White House typically notifies them of when military action might be taken.

Johnson issues statement on Iran

“Today, Iran is facing the severe consequences of its evil actions. President Trump and the Administration have made every effort to find peaceful and diplomatic solutions to the Iranian regime’s continued nuclear ambitions and developments, terrorism, and murder of Americans and even its own people,” Johnson wrote in a written statement.

“For decades, Iran has stubbornly maintained its nuclear program while arming and funding Hamas, Hezbollah, and other internationally recognized terrorist groups. Iran and its proxies have threatened American and American lives, undermined our core national interests, systematically destabilized the Middle East, and threatened the security of the entire West,” he added.
