Some US senators didn't know the US 🇺🇸 has troops in Niger

Some senators are saying they didn't know the US has troops in Niger as questions swirl about the raid that killed four US servicemen there earlier this month.

"I did not," Bob Casey, of Pennsylvania, responded to CNN's Chris Cuomo on "New Day" Monday whether he knew there were troops in Niger. "When you consider what happened here, the four sergeants lost their lives, I think there's a lot of work that both parties and both branches of government need to do."

"I didn't know there was 1,000 troops in Niger," Lindsey Graham, South Carolina, told NBC's Chuck Todd on "Meet the Press" Sunday.

When Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer was asked later on "Meet the Press" about knowing whether there were troops in Niger, he responded, "No, I did not."
