WASHINGTON — The White House plans to limit intelligence sharing with members of Congress after an early assessment of damage caused by U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites leaked this week, a senior White House official confirmed to NBC News.

The news of the White House's plans was first reported by Axios. The House and Senate were originally scheduled to receive classified briefings on the strikes in Iran on Tuesday b

Representatives Jake Auchincloss and Seth Moulton struck a different tone on President Trump's Iran strikes than many of their Democratic colleagues.

While Trump did not seek approval, he sent congressional leaders a short letter Monday serving as his official notice of the strikes, which occurred Saturday between 6:40 p.m. and 7:05 p.m. EDT, or roughly 2:10 a.m. on Sunday in Iran.

Four Trump administration officials will brief senators Thursday afternoon on the U.S. bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities, as lawmakers and the White House clash over access to intelligence about the strikes.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent asked congressional leadership to remove a provision from the Republican tax legislation that would give the Treasury Department the ability to implement a so-called “revenge tax” on certain foreign investors.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Thursday asked Republicans in Congress to remove a "retaliatory tax" proposal that targets foreign investors from their sweeping budget legislation, as lawmakers struggled to find a path forward on the bill.

The Treasury has asked Congress to scrap a provision in Donald Trump’s flagship budget bill that allows the US government to raise taxes on foreign investments from select countries, reversing a plan that Wall Street warned could roil markets.
