"In briefing to Congress, DNI, SecDef, and SecState provided zero real evidence. Referenced info circulating online. Which means they either chose not to provide proof to Congress or they don't have conclusive proof that Assad carried out gas attack," Massie, a Republican representing northern Kentucky, said in a tweet.

"Either way, not good," the lawmaker concluded.
