It's been more than three days, remember, since Trump used the U.S.

military to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife.

But it wasn't until last night that the Trump administration started briefing Congress.

For roughly two hours last night, top Trump administration officials briefed the bipartisan group of top congressional leaders and intelligence committee chairs known as the Gang of Eight.

Now, that meeting was classified and behind closed doors.

But luckily for us, a member, a key member of the Gang of Eight who was in that meeting is joining me now.

Senator Mark Warner is the vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee and a member of the Gang of Eight.

You and I have talked about Venezuela before.

We've talked about the crazy national security policy of this administration.

And it's important to kind of wade through what's important and what's not.

So let me just start by asking for your reaction to the White House threatening military force in Greenland or, I guess, Trump reportedly asking aides to come up with a plan for how to buy it.

What do you make of that?

Certainly is, and I think you've reminded people watching this as crazy as it sounds to them.

I want to hear your views on Venezuela, and I want to ask you as part of that, you probably saw this.

Tonight, President Trump posted on social media saying that, quote, the interim authorities in Venezuela will be turning over between 30 and 50 million barrels of high-quality sanctioned oil to the United States of America.

He continued that that oil will be sold at its market price and that money will be controlled by Trump himself personally.

Personally, that is obviously part of what's happening with Venezuela.

What do you make of that?

Are you clear about what their plan is here at all after the briefing you had yesterday?

Senator Mark Warner, I hope you will come back and talk to me more about this.
