The U.S. Democratic Party strongly criticized President Trump's military action in Venezuela, and some lawmakers even raised the possibility of initiating impeachment proceedings.
Earlier on the 3rd, the Trump administration carried out a military strike against Venezuela and arrested Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
On the 4th, the virtual asset (cryptocurrency) specialist outlet Odaily reported that Democratic lawmakers criticized the administration for making a significant military decision bypassing Congress. In particular, the Democratic leadership of the House Foreign Affairs Committee claimed, "We received no official briefing in advance, and only learned of the operation through media reports." The Democratic leadership in both the Senate and the House has also demanded a prompt and transparent explanation from the administration.
Some Democratic lawmakers publicly mentioned considering impeachment proceedings, characterizing the matter as a constitutional issue. They argue the administration should be held seriously accountable for infringing Congress's authority over the use of military force.
The U.S. Attorney General said that President Maduro and his wife would be subject to federal criminal prosecution, raising the possibility that judicial proceedings could also get underway.
Meanwhile, the Republican ranks largely supported the measure. However, it was reported that some Republican lawmakers also said careful review is necessary.
