Top Dem hits Trump administration over lack of transparency in Cuba attacks

The top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee blasted the Trump administration on Wednesday, alleging that officials have kept members of Congress in the dark about mysterious attacks in Cuba that have affected two dozen U.S. officials and their spouses.
Rep. Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.) said in a statement that he learned from a report by The Associated Press instead of the State Department that doctors treating victims of the attacks had found brain abnormalities.
"I was also disappointed to once again read about the latest developments in the press rather than being briefed by the State Department," he said.
"The Trump Administration has consistently failed to carry out its duty to brief Congress on these troubling events."
