After IQ45 cancelled their military flight to Afghanistan yesterday, an hour before departure, the delagation of 8 ( including Nancy Pelosi ) made commercial travel plans to reach Afghanistan and keep their commitment to the troops.

Unfortunately Trump leaked their commercial travel plans this morning and the secret service advised them to cancel the trip because it is not safe now.

Delegation to Afghanistan forced to cancel commercial travel plans after Trump leaks

The United States Congress is a co-equal branch of government in our system of checks and balances. The Congress has a constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight in the war zone where our men and women in uniform are risking their lives every day.

After President Trump revoked the use of military aircraft to travel to Afghanistan, the delegation was prepared to fly commercially to proceed with this vital trip to meet with our commanders and troops on the front lines.

In the middle of the night, State Dept's Diplomatic Security Service provided an updated threat assessment detailing that the President announcing this sensitive travel had significantly increased danger to the delegation & to troops, security, & other officials supporting trip.

This morning, we learned that the Administration had leaked the commercial travel plans as well.

In light of the grave threats caused by the President’s action, the delegation has decided to postpone the trip so as not to further endanger our troops and security personnel, or the other travelers on the flights.

Whether here or abroad, the Speaker always thanks our troops, diplomats and intelligence community for their heroism & service. The Speaker commends her colleagues on the delegation, who personally & officially have dedicated their lives to protect & defend the American people.

They never had any intention of flying commercial. Fake news.
