A trio of leading House Democrats are calling out the Trump administration for keeping Congress in the dark on North Korea ahead of President Trump’s meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un next week.

“We are perplexed and troubled by the growing disconnect between the Intelligence Community’s assessment and your administration’s statements about Kim Jong Un’s actions, commitments, and intentions,” the heads of three national security-focused committees wrote in a letter to Trump on Thursday. “Furthermore, our ability to conduct oversight of U.S. policy toward North Korea on behalf of the American people has been inappropriately curtailed by your administration’s unwillingness to share information with Congress.”

The letter was signed by House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., House Armed Services Committee Chairman Adam Smith, D-Wash., and House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif.
