Would like to see reporters ask White House officials point by point if the “deal” with Iran has the same elements that the JCPOA had, but not mentioning it or Obama by name. Qs like “so can we inspect their nuclear sites now?” Etc.

More embarrassing stuff from @bloomberg.com. Perhaps its crack reports and savvy editors can try googling "iran jcpoa." Even just skimming the AI summary will reveal how Obama resolved this issue and then Trump screwed it up.
