Though, in comments largely ignored at the time, Sen. John Kennedy said classified intelligence had effectively forced Trump\u2019s hand, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >claiming multiple cities faced imminent danger<\/a>. The story ran on The Western Journal. Do you want me to fact-check that claim (find the western Journal story, verify Kennedy\u2019s exact words, and look for corroborating reporting), or just summarize how you can verify it yourself?<\/p>\n<p>If you want a fact-check, I can:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Look up the Western Journal article and quote it verbatim.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Search for other reporting or primary sources (video, Senate transcript, Kennedy\u2019s office statements, his social media) that show exactly what he said and when.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Note any discrepancies and the context (timing, whether he cited classified data, and whether other officials corroborated imminent threats).<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Explain limits on verification (claims based on classified intelligence can\u2019t always be independently confirmed with public sources).<\/p>\n<p>If you want to check it yourself, I recommend:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Finding the original Western Journal piece and copying the exact quote and publication date.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; searching major news outlets (AP, NYT, WaPo, Reuters) for the same quote or follow-ups.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Checking Kennedy\u2019s Senate website, press releases, and his verified Twitter\/X (or other social accounts) for the statement.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Looking for video (C-SPAN, local stations) of interviews or floor remarks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Noting whether any committee membership or official briefings would give Kennedy access to the alleged classified intelligence, and whether other officials repeated the imminent-threat claim.<\/p>\n<p>Which would you like me to do? <br \/> <br \/>\n    Read more&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>After Election Day went against the Republican Party, platoons of pundits ridiculed President Donald Trump for going to war with Iran.
