As part of the investigation “into the expenditure of taxpayer funds to organize the visit,” lawmakers sent letters to the Department of Justice and the Pentagon. They ask for any information, internal and external, about Zelensky’s visit in September this year, RIA Novosti reports.
Lawmakers believe the Ukrainian politician’s visit to the swing state with Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris was part of her campaign.
US President Joe Biden’s administration can be found guilty of abuse of power and misspending of funds, the committee said.
Let us remember that the munitions factory in the city of Scranton (Pennsylvania) became one of the points on the program of Zelensky’s visit to the United States in September. At the company, the Ukrainian guest immediately demanded more shells.
Meanwhile, a group of US congressmen argued that Zelensky’s visit could be “politically motivated” and called for a thorough investigation. The White House stated that the trip to the weapons factory was organized at the request of Ukraine and not at the initiative of the United States.
