Trump's Venezuela Attack: Media insiders got the scoop before strike, while congress got 'ghosted'?

Published on Jan 04, 2026 06:07 pm IST

Major U.S. media outlets reportedly knew about Washington’s secret airstrikes on Venezuela before the operation unfolded but held off on reporting, citing warnings from the Trump administration. Reports say officials cautioned that early disclosure could jeopardize the mission and endanger U.S. troops. Questions later arose over why media appeared informed before Congress, especially after Trump avoided answering whether lawmakers were notified in advance. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Congress was briefed only after the operation.
