Rep. Matt Gaetz of the GOP put out a resolution on Monday requiring President Biden to provide the House with all records pertaining to military aid to Ukraine and ordering Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin to make public the number of American service soldiers who have been sent there without legislative authorization.
After Massachusetts Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira was charged last week with violating the Espionage Act by keeping and disclosing confidential materials, Gaetz introduced his so-called "privileged" resolution, which is granted precedence to be brought to the floor before ordinary House business.
One document, dated March 2023, that was purportedly released into a Discord internet group chat reveals that 14 American special troops were stationed there, according to Gaetz.
Gaetz was informed earlier this year by Dr. Colin Kahl, Under Secretary of Defence for Policy, that "a couple dozen" Department of Defence employees are stationed in the American Embassy in Ukraine.
Robert, the inspector general for the Pentagon, said this week that 20 individuals, largely from Germany, were stationed in the area to monitor supplies to Ukraine.
Gaetz, a Florida politician, said that "the Biden Administration and other allied countries have been misleading the world on the state of the war in Ukraine." "This administration must be completely open and honest with the American people when they gamble on war with a nuclear adversary by sending special forces into Ukraine."
