EXCERPT:
DALE: “The secretary referred to fake news CNN and then immediately proceeded to effectively confirm CNN's reporting, again, emphasized that this intelligence assessment was preliminary, made with low confidence.

He also tried to back up President Trump's assertion that these nuclear facilities were completely and totally obliterated by forcefully reading out quotes from others who did not say the same thing. He read quotes asserting that the nuclear sites had been badly damaged, severely damaged. The strikes had done enormous damage. None of that is synonymous with complete obliteration.”
