Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo.,  talks to reporters as he heads to a vote at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday. Hawley reversed his initial support for a Venezuela war powers resolution and voted to block the legislation after receiving assurances from the White House.

The resolution would have forced President Trump to get authorization from Congress before launching military operations in Venezuela. It was blocked after having previously advanced with GOP support.
