Tucker Carlson told Judge Andrew Napolitano on Wednesday that members of Congress were briefed on a coming war with Venezuela and that President Donald Trump planned to announce the conflict on Wednesday evening.

"Members of Congress were briefed yesterday that a war is coming and that it'll be announced in the address to the nation tonight at 9 o'clock by the president," Carlson said, citing a "member of Congress."

Trump is expected to speak at 9 p.m. He announced the address on Tuesday but did not specify the topic of the address.

Carlson was careful to qualify his statement, saying "who knows if that will happen."
