AP/PTI file photoAPTop Trump administration national security officials facing back-to-back congressional hearings starting Wednesday are expected to be pressed on the war in Iran, including a deadly strike on a school, as well as the FBI's capacity to prevent terror attacks inside the United States. The outdated targeting data was reported to have come from the Defence Intelligence Agency, whose director, Lt. Gen. James H. Adams, is among those set to testify. The White House says the strike is still under investigation. Kent said Tuesday that he could not "in good conscience" back the Trump administration's war and that he did not agree that Iran posed an imminent threat to the US. The hearings are also likely to focus on Kash Patel's leadership of the FBI.
