WASHINGTON — The White House plans to limit intelligence sharing with members of Congress after an early assessment of damage caused by U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites leaked this week, a senior White House official confirmed to NBC News.

The White House will limit intelligence sharing to Congress after leaks of an early assessment undermined Trump’s claim that U.S. airstrikes obliterated Iran’s nuclear program.

Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Illinois) also questioned the justification for limiting intelligence sent to Congress, saying that the catalyst for the decision was that the White House is “embarrassed by the leak” and the fact that “it suggested they did not obliterate the Iran nuclear program as promised.”
