White House Deputy Press Secretary Josh Earnest said Thursday that an unclassified intelligence report about Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime’s use of chemical weapons could be released to the public as soon as today.
Earnest said in the daily White House press briefing that to his understanding, the report “has not been finalized as of this moment,” but is “on track” to be produced by the end of the week. Asked if the report could be released today, Earnest said “I’m not ruling out today.”
