On another Sunday talk show, national security advisor Robert O'Brien said the Iranian regime was "reeling from maximum pressure."
"Iran is being choked off, and Iran is going to have no other choice but to come to the table."
Trump late Sunday slapped O'Brien down, saying, "Actually, I couldn't care less if they negotiate. Will be totally up to them."
Asked if there was specific evidence in the intelligence to support the claim, Esper said, "I didn't see one with regard to four embassies."
The administration has come under fire from Democrats - and at least two Republican senators - for refusing to share the intelligence with members of Congress.
Senior congressional leaders - the so-called Gang of Eight - were briefed January 8 as skepticism mounted about the administration's rationale for a killing that raised the risk of war with Iran.
"We had exquisite intelligence and the intelligence showed that they were looking at US facilities throughout the region," O'Brien said on NBC's "Meet the Press". "The threat was imminent."
Adam Schiff, chair of the House Intelligence Committee, said there was no discussion in the briefing given to the Gang of Eight about plots against four embassies.
"In the view of the briefers, there was plotting, there was an effort to escalate, a big plan, but they didn't have specificity," he said.
"So when you hear the president out there on Fox, he is fudging intelligence," he said on "Face the Nation".
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the congressional leadership should have been informed of the strike against Soleimani in advance.
"I don't think the administration has been straight with the Congress of the United States," she said on "Meet the Press".
