Jon Stewart: Why are Trump aides 'defensive and angry' if Iran strikes were successful?

(The Hill) Jon Stewart in a Thursday podcast questioned the Trump administration’s response to a leaked internal U.S. intelligence assessment suggesting strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities did not “obliterate” the three sites — in contradiction to President Trump’s account of the attack.

Stewart said if the mission was successful, “it shouldn’t be that hard to not be so defensive and angry all the time,” on “The Weekly Show” podcast’s Thursday episode.

He criticized White House officials for repeatedly lashing out on the press who inquired about the report.
