House Republicans will probe Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s visit to an ammunition factory in Pennsylvania.
House Oversight Committee Chair Rep. James Comer opened an investigation into Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's Sunday visit to an ammunition factory in Scranton, Pennsylvania with three Democrats, two of whom are up for reelection in November.
The investigation comes a day after nine House Republicans signed a letter demanding"a full investigation into the use of U.S. military assets and federal resources in relation to the visit."'s Sunday visit to an ammunition factory in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Comer claims that the trip was organized to campaign for Vice Presidentand former president Donald Trump seems to sour.
Trump was expected to meet with the Ukrainian President on Thursday at Trump Tower, but a Trump campaign official toldWednesday that the meeting was not happening. When asked why, a source familiar with the matter pointed to Zelenskyy's New Yorker interview., Zelenskyy said that Trump's running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance was"too radical" and his message"seems to be that Ukraine must make a sacrifice," in ending the war with Russia.
On Wednesday, the Defense Department announced additional security assistance of $375 million for Ukraine, including more of the 155 mm artillery shells that the Scranton factory specializes in manufacturing. "The Scranton Army Ammunition Plant is playing a critical role bolstering Ukraine's forces, and I was honored to join President Zelenskyy to thank Pennsylvania workers for helping defend democracy. Attempts to smear his visit to our Commonwealth are an insult and a disgrace," Sen. Casey said in a statement to CNBC.
Comer sought more information on government resources used for and all internal and external communications regarding the trip in letters sent to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Attorney General Merrick Garland and White House Counsel Edward Siskel.
