Top Obama administration officials will head to the Capitol next Wednesday to hold a classified briefing on the Iran nuclear deal for House members.


Secretary of State John Kerry, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew and Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz will conduct the closed-door session at the Capitol Visitor Center auditorium, according to a GOP leadership aide. All House members are invited.


The national intelligence manager for Iran will also attend the briefing.


The White House has launched a full-court press to make the case for the agreement to lawmakers.


Vice President Biden visited with House and Senate Democrats this week. Top White House officials, such as chief of staff Denis McDonough and National Security Adviser Susan Rice, have also phoned members of Congress.


Kerry, Moniz and Lew will testify on the agreement before Senate Foreign Relations Committee next Tuesday.
