In joint letter addressed to the U.S. Department of Justice Inspector General, nine congressmen expressed serious concerns about the implications of Zelenskyy’s visit, urging a thorough investigation into the use of U.S. military property and federal resources for possibly political purposes.
They pointed out that the presence of high-ranking Democratic officials during Zelenskyy’s visit ahead of the presidential election might violate local laws that restrict federal officials from engaging in political activities in their official capacity.
The lawmakers highlighted that Zelenskyy may have arrived in Pennsylvania on a U.S. Air Force C-17 military plane, with security provided by the Secret Service, asserting that these arrangements were funded by taxpayer money and might have been diverted for political activities unrelated to national security or diplomacy.
