Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), in separate statements to the media, said that President Donald Trump didnt give them notice ahead of the raid that led to the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe world is a safer place today because al-Baghdadi has been brought to justice. I applaud our intelligence professionals, the brave servicemembers who risked everything to carry out this mission, and President Trump and his team,\u201d McConnell wrote on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Trump confirmed the death of al-Baghdadi in a press conference on Oct. 27, saying the ISIS leader died in a tunnel during a nighttime raid in northern Syria.
