House votes to accuse Obama of withholding Iran documents (but he doesn't have the documents)
Source: The Hill
The House passed a resolution Thursday contending that President Obama hasnt provided Congress with all of the documents related to the Iran nuclear deal, thereby violating the terms of the congressional review law.
The party-line vote of 245-186 came a day after House GOP leaders recalibrated their strategy to reject the deal following a conservative revolt. It also came the same day Senate Democrats blocked progress on a resolution disapproving the deal.
In the House, conservatives rallied around a proposal from Rep. Peter Roskam (R-Ill.), co-chairman of the House Republican Israel Caucus, to delay a vote on the Iran deal until the Obama administration provides Congress with the text of side deals between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Those bilateral agreements lay out details about international inspections at some Iranian nuclear sites.
The Obama administration itself does not have the text of the side deals to share with Congress. The IAEA routinely keeps documentation of nuclear agreements with individual countries confidential.
