Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan I pressed @USEnvoyIran on reports Trump assassinated Iran's top general to appease GOP senators ahead of his impeachment trial. Isn't that outrageous, I asked?

“It just invited more trouble rather than de-escalating tensions," Malley told me.

Trump reportedly told associates he killed Qassem Soleimani to appease GOP senators before his impeachment trial

* President Donald Trump told associates that he assassinated Iran's top military leader in part to appease Republican senators who will play a crucial role in his upcoming Senate impeachment trial, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday.

* In a lengthy piece detailing how the president's top advisers coalesced behind the strike on Iranian Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the Journal noted that Trump said he felt "under pressure" from the senators.

* One of Trump's most outspoken supporters, GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham was reportedly the only congressional lawmaker Trump briefed about his plan to assassinate Soleimani in the days leading up to the strike.

* Graham has criticized the president's foreign policy choices in the past - most notably Trump's withdrawal of troops from northern Syria and his handling of Saudi Arabia.

* Publicly, Trump has said he approved the strike on Soleimani to prevent an "imminent" planned bombing attack of the US embassy in Iraq. The administration has not provided evidence to support this claim.
