State Dept.: We’ve Always Wanted Congress Involved in Iran Deal

‘And the reason we’ve engaged with Congress so extensively is because we acknowledge the important role that Congress has played thus far’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
JEFF RATHKE: "We've talked about the numbers of phone calls, over 130 phone calls from the president and cabinet members and other senior officials. And the reason we've engaged with Congress so extensively is because we acknowledge the important role that Congress has played thus far and that they should and would have a role in this process when it comes to voting on the sanctions that Congress put in place."
