“We write to express serious concerns about potential violations of US law arising from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s recent visit to Pennsylvania and request a full investigation into the use of US military assets and federal resources in relation to the visit. As reported, President Zelensky visited Scranton, Pennsylvania, on Sunday to tour the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant, a facility that produces military equipment for Ukraine. The Ukrainian President was accompanied exclusively by Democrats including Governor Josh Shapiro, Senator Bob Casey, and Representative Matt Cartwright, forty-two days before the election in the crucial swing state of Pennsylvania.”
“Zelensky’s visit and his comments criticizing the Trump-Vance ticket as ‘too radical,’ as well as arguing that under Vance, ‘America is headed for global conflict,’ smack of a Kamala Campaign stump speech. These actions have raised serious concerns that the visit may have been politically motivated, potentially violating US laws such as the Hatch Act, which prohibits federal employees from engaging in political activities while on duty or using government resources for such activities.”
“Additionally, it has come to our attention that President Zelensky may have flown into Pennsylvania on a US Air Force C-17 military aircraft and was provided Secret Service protection, both of which involve the use of US taxpayer funds. There is concern that these resources were used for purposes unrelated to US national security or bilateral diplomacy but rather to support a politically significant visit ahead of a major US election. If taxpayer dollars were used to facilitate this visit in a way that may violate federal laws or ethical guidelines, it is essential that Congress and the public receive a full accounting of those expenditures and the motivations behind the visit,” write MAGA Congressmen Lance Gooden, Clay Higgins, Andy Biggs, and a bunch of the other more white nationalist members in a letter to the Defense and Justice Department inspectors general.
