I need you to investigate the allegation that President Trump attempted to invoke nuclear codes against Iran during an emergency meeting on Saturday, and that General Dan Caine intervened to stop him. If this claim is substantiated, impeachment proceedings must begin immediately.
This allegation was made by retired CIA analyst Larry C Johnson on the Judging Freedom podcast and has received over 545,000 views. While Johnson's credibility is questionable given his documented history of spreading false information useful to Russian state media, the severity of this claim demands a formal investigation. We are in the middle of a live conflict with Iran, with a ceasefire expiring on 21 April and a naval blockade already in place. Any attempt to use nuclear weapons without proper authorization would constitute a clear abuse of power and threat to national security.
Congress has oversight authority over nuclear decision-making and presidential conduct. The White House, Pentagon, and General Caine's office have not denied this allegation. Your silence allows this claim to fester. Open an investigation, subpoena witnesses from that meeting, and get General Caine on the record under oath. If Trump attempted to launch a nuclear strike improperly, the American people deserve to know before this conflict escalates further.
