As you know, many in the media, along with some Democrats, have been heading to their fainting couches over security measures the Secret Service put into place to keep President Trump safe while he was in Turkey:
NEW: President Trump was whisked out of Turkey last month on a military aircraft in an elaborate plot to keep his location secret amid security fears from the war with neighboring Iran, according to a U.S. official with knowledge of the plan. https://t.co/GzLYZwHJhX

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is demanding answers and more information from the White House:
The Senate should be immediately briefed on the Iranian threats against the President, the extraordinary measures taken to get him out of Turkey, any risks posed to U.S. personnel, and any threat to the homeland.

Chuck's saying that it's unacceptable for the White House to keep Congress in the dark:
It is unacceptable that Congress was kept in the dark and instead learned about this serious threat through press reports. Trump has put America’s sons and daughters in harm’s way by getting into an unnecessary and reckless war, and this administration has repeatedly refused to provide Congress and the public with the transparency they deserve.
This is exactly why Congress must reassert its constitutional authority and bring this conflict to an end. Republicans cannot keep prioritizing Trump’s luxury and vanity over America’s security.

Who wants to tell him?
Sorry, Chuck, but you can't be trusted and everybody knows it.
no. Because the Senate cannot be trusted to keep secrets

They shouldn’t tell you anything. You would immediately broadcast any threat hoping something would happen to Trump. Get bent, dumbass.

Loose lips, Chuck.
This is on Congress. https://t.co/PeTdbtfHtG
He shouldn’t trust Congress or Senate. They would leak as usual https://t.co/xOPfEr4bjQ

One of Schumer's Senate Democrat colleagues often comes across like a cheerleader for the Iranian regime, so no, the White House should not trust congressional Dems.
