Scoop: Gabbard's Senate Intel briefing postponed amid Iran tensions

• Gabbard had a principal-level White House commitment, a source familiar with her plans said.
• Trump said Wednesday that the Iranians had proposed sending a delegation to the White House, but he also didn't rule out authorizing strikes aimed at Tehran's nuclear program.

The big picture: Democrats say that lawmakers aren't being given enough information about a potential U.S. military action.

• Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.), a senior member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told Axios on Wednesday that despite being able to spend two hours with intelligence community officials this week, key questions remain unanswered.
• "Cost, duration, risk to our troops, strategy — the basics before we make a decision of this consequence," Coons said.

What they're saying: Gabbard's team told Axios that the briefing is being rescheduled, and that there was bipartisan agreement to do so, given schedules on the Senate side as well.

• "Given her principal level engagements and ongoing developments in the Middle East, we are looking to find a mutually agreeable day in the near future," said Patrick McCann, a spokesperson for Senate Intel Chair Tom Cotton (R-Ark.).

Between the lines: The delayed meeting comes amid reports of tension between Gabbard and the president.

• "Tulsi could do herself a favor by focusing on her job. Right now, she gets a C in the president's eyes," a senior administration official said.
• "There's been a little bit of self-aggrandizement that never goes over well anywhere, but certainly not in Trumpworld," the official said. "Everybody likes her personally. The president does. Nobody wants her to go away. She's part of the team."
