Wasserman-Schultz claims Trump ordered Soleimani strike out of 'self interest'
Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz repeated a familiar talking point coming from Democratic lawmakers in recent days, suggesting President Trump ordered the killing of a top Iranian general this week to distract the American public from his impeachment.
"This action was taken more in President Trump's self-interest rather than our national interest," Wasserman-Schultz said Sunday on CNN. "We had damning developments in just the last day ... That is outrageous, and I think it has a lot to do with why the attack was carried out."
Wasserman-Schultz appeared to be referencing a report by the New York Times from over the weekend, showing the White House sought to conceal a series of e-mails between top Trump administration officials and the Office of Budget Management regarding frozen military aid to Ukraine at the center of impeachment.
