Republican Sen. Rand Paul told Newsmax that a special inspector general needed to be established to monitor United States security assistance and weapons to Ukraine.
Republican Sen. Rand Paul told Newsmax that a special inspector general is needed to monitor United States security assistance and weapons to Ukraine.
Paul noted that during the latter years of the Afghanistan war, the U.S. created a special inspector general for Afghanistan reconstruction to monitor how money sent to the allied government was spent. The senator believes Sopko "would be perfect" to lead a similar probe of aid sent to Ukraine. However, he admitted that he lost his last attempt to get the IG established in May by holding up billions in aid.
The senator also said he takes issue with how official apportionments are broken down, with more than one-third of money being sent to the government for use other than the military.
