Congress presses Trump for answers on botched Venezuela 'invasion'

The head of a US congressional committee said Tuesday he was asking President Donald Trump's administration for explanations over a mysterious botched "invasion" of Venezuela in which two Americans were arrested.

"Congress needs answers, and we need them now," said Eliot Engel, a Democrat who heads the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

"We need to know if US laws were broken by American citizens and companies and whether any element of the US government was aware of what was taking place," he said on Twitter.

Referring to the television spy, Engel said the raid sounded like "a bad Jack Ryan episode" and complained that the State Department had ignored his request for a briefing.
