Thank you, Anderson. I am Chris Cuomo, and welcome to prime time. The question, is it really over?

The president still hasn't provided you a stitch of proof this country had to take out a general right now, not a scintilla of proof.

We have lawmakers on both sides of the aisle who got the intel. Why are so many so appalled by the quality of the briefing?

And we're going to take on the great mystery in the sky over Iran.

176 killed just after takeoff in Iran on the way to Ukraine.

Forget the chatter. What does the evidence show so far?

Let's get after it.

All right, the House says it's going to vote tomorrow to reign in the president's war-making

powers. Why? Well, in large part, because of wild dissatisfaction with briefings from the administration today about the strike that got U.S. bases bombed.

Here's a taste.

Probably the worst briefing I've seen, at least on a military issue, in the nine years I've served in the United States Senate, to come in and tell us that we can't debate and discuss

the appropriateness of military intervention against Iran. It's un-American. It's unconstitutional.

And it's wrong. Oh, those Democrats, they won't shut up. Oh, it was a Republican. Oh, well, he just hates

Trump. No, he doesn't. That was Senator Mike Lee, a Republican from Utah,

standing alongside fellow Republican Rand Paul, enraged and insulted, he said. To be told by Trump

officials, don't debate the merits of taking military action against Iran. Does that sound like a clear-cut case is being offered?

Now, House Democrat Jerry Connolly says he left the room more trouble than he went in.

The Foreign Affairs Committee member joins us now.

Thank you, sir.

Happy New Year to you and the family.

You too, Chris.

So, imminent, thanks to the DOJ, basically means anything a president wants it to mean.
