Rogers: W.H. Not Informing Congress of Bergdahl Exchange ‘Ludicrous, Illegal’

House Intel Chair: Very Bad, Dangerous Pattern

Rep. Mike Rogers (R., Mich.) slammed the Obama administration Monday for not informing Congress about the Bergdahl prisoner exchange.

Rogers called the administrations actions "ludicrous" and said he plans to conduct a thorough review of the release, which he described as a "political stunt."

"The Obama administration decided the Obama administration did not have to call Congress. This is absolutely ludicrous," Rogers said on Fox & Friends.

"The notion that this was so sensitive that people couldn’t keep a secret is just wrong and it's illegal. They have a thirty-day notice under the law to notify Congress about the moving of prisoners. They have a constitutional and legal statute to keep Congress currently informed," he added.
