Reaction next to U.S. action in Venezuela. I'm Sue Guzman, Fox News. Leading congressional lawmakers were briefed Monday night on the U.S. mission in Venezuela to remove now former President Nicolas Maduro. Following the briefing, House Speaker Mike Johnson clarified whether American troops were still in Venezuela.
With regard to the war powers and the compliance with federal law, we are not at war. We do not have U.S. armed forces in Venezuela, and we are not occupying that country.
Senate Democrat leader Chuck Schumer says he left the meeting with more questions than answers.
Their plan for the U.S. running Venezuela is vague, based on wishful thinking.
Represented is some petroleum giant Chevron. ConocoPhillips and ExxonMobil expected to meet with the Trump administration later this week to discuss the future of Venezuela.

Attorney General Pam Bondi on Fox's Hannity accused the leader of killing and jailing those who interfered with alleged drug trafficking operations.

President Trump warned leaders of Cuba, Mexico and Colombia that the same could happen to them.

So I've decided to step out of this race and I'll let others worry about the election while I focus on the work that's in front of me for the next year.
That and a massive fraud scandal that whistleblowers have alleged the Walls administration knew was happening for years, yet did very little to stop. Minnesota Republican Rep and House Majority Whip Tom Emmer saying of the governor, good riddance. Jeff Manasso, Fox News.
House Republicans expected to deliver a rare rebuke to President Trump this week. Fox's Jared Halperin.
The first two vetoes of President Trump's second term are at risk of a rare override in the House of Representatives later this week after drawing criticism from several Republican allies of the president. Lawmakers are expected to vote Thursday on overriding the vetoes, one blocking a water pipeline project in rural Colorado, another giving a Native American tribe more access to a portion of the Florida Everglades. Both measures passed with overwhelming bipartisan support. Lawmakers in Colorado say the veto is politically motivated as punishment to the state's Democratic governor, Jared Polis. The president argues the vetoes are about government efficiency. At the White House, Jared Halpern, Fox News.
