(GoRealNewsNow.com) – House of Republicans started a bombshell investigation toward Kamala Harris as she is accused of using Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as a campaign surrogate.
Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) is demanding records related to Zelensky’s visit to a Scranton ammunition plant with Democrat Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro.
Comer compared Zelensky’s trip—which included using an Air Force C-17 cargo jet—to GOP nominee Donald Trump’s controversial efforts to pressure Zelensky into investigating the Biden family. This move led to Trump’s impeachment in 2019.
Comer wrote in his request for documents:
“The Biden-Harris Administration recently flew the same foreign leader — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky — on an American taxpayer-funded flight to Pennsylvania, a battleground state in the upcoming 2024 presidential election, which has been described as the ‘trickiest battleground for Vice President Kamala Harris to win.’”
“The Committee seeks to determine whether the Biden-Harris Administration attempted to use a foreign leader to benefit Vice President Harris’s presidential campaign and, if so, necessarily committed an abuse of power,” he continued.
A source reported that journalists were not allowed to join Zelensky’s tour of the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant, where 155mm artillery shells used in Ukraine’s war effort are produced.
However, images of the event, along with quotes from an Army press release, were shared with the media.
According to the Census Bureau, Pennsylvania has the second-largest population of Ukrainian Americans in the U.S., with nearly 100,000 residents.
“The Committee seeks to understand the circumstances that led — and any facts that could justify — the Biden-Harris Administration to transport President Zelensky on a Department of the Air Force aircraft to Pennsylvania to introduce government officials to President Zelensky about the Russia-Ukraine war,” Comer continued.
He added, “On September 22, 2024, The New Yorker published an interview with President Zelensky, in which he made multiple critical comments about the Trump-Vance ticket. President Zelensky said that President Trump’s running mate, Senator J.D. Vance, is ‘too radical.’”
In turn, Comer claimed that Zelensky stated his belief that Trump and his administration would not be able to stop the war despite this being one of his main campaign platforms.
In addition, the Committee is investigating any coordination or communication among the Biden-Harris Administration, Pennsylvania’s Office of the Governor and President Zelensky for use or solicitation of use of government property to politically benefit Harris’ presidential campaign.
Comer has given Attorney General Merrick Garland, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, and White House counsel Ed Siskel until October 2 to provide the relevant documents.
