Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren questioned the timing of the U.S. drone strike on a top Iranian military leader, saying people question if it was a bid to distract from President Donald Trump’s impeachment.
In a rare appearance on a Sunday talk show, Warren said on CNN’s “State of the Union” that it was fair to wonder if Trump’s order to kill Iran’s Qassem Soleimani was an attempt to turn attention away from the ongoing impeachment debate in Washington.
