GOP House Investigating Biden-Harris Admin Over Zelensky’s PA Visit

On Tuesday, Rep. James Comer (R-KY), the chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, fired off a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Attorney General Merrick Garland, and White House Counsel Edward Siskel requesting documents regarding the Biden-Harris administration using government resources to aid Ukrainian President Zelensky’s visit to Pennsylvania, a visit that was widely seen as a prop to Harris’ presidential campaign.

 

Comer began his letter by alluding to the 2019 impeachment of former President Donald Trump that claimed he used Zelensky to benefit his 2020 presidential campaign, a claim Comer dismissed as lacking “any evidence of wrongdoing on the part of President Trump.”

“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,’” Comer continued.

“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 wrote. “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.”

“President Zelensky’s itinerary included a stop in Pennsylvania to meet with Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, until recently considered a promising candidate to further Democrats’ hopes to maintain control of the White House,” he noted.

Comer made reference to a September 22, 2024, interview published in The New Yorker in which Zelensky “stated his belief that President Trump and his administration would not be able to stop the war, despite this being one of President Trump’s main campaign platforms.”

“This rhetoric coming from a foreign leader released in anticipation of a U.S.-taxpayer-funded visit about the current administration’s political opponent is highly concerning,” Comer stated. “The Committee is investigating any coordination or communication among the Biden-Harris administration, Pennsylvania’s Office of the Governor, and President Zelensky for us or solicitation of use of government property to politically benefit Vice President Harris’s presidential campaign.”

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
