JUST IN: Kamala Hit With New Investigation After Potentially Major Campaign Violation
The Biden-Harris Administration is facing a new investigation led by House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY), centered on potential misuse of taxpayer resources in the 2024 presidential campaign. The investigation stems from allegations that taxpayer-funded resources were used to fly Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to Pennsylvania, where it is alleged he participated in efforts supporting Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign.
Comer’s investigation was launched after reports surfaced that Zelensky was flown on a U.S. Air Force aircraft to Pennsylvania, a key battleground state, in the lead-up to the 2024 election. The Oversight Committee is scrutinizing whether this arrangement constitutes an abuse of power, drawing parallels to the 2019 impeachment proceedings against then-President Donald Trump.
In a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Chairman Comer raised concerns about the parallels between this case and the 2019 impeachment, which accused Trump of attempting to use Zelensky to influence his 2020 re-election campaign. Comer points out the irony, writing, “In 2019, the Democrat-controlled House impeached President Donald J. Trump for abuse of power under the theory that he attempted to use a foreign leader—Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky—to benefit his 2020 presidential campaign, despite a lack of any evidence of wrongdoing on the part of President Trump.”
The Republican-led Committee is focusing on whether the Biden-Harris Administration is guilty of a similar offense by using taxpayer dollars to transport a foreign leader for political gain. Comer’s letter specifically questions the justification for flying Zelensky to Pennsylvania, a state that has been described as “the trickiest battleground for Vice President Kamala Harris to win” in the upcoming election.
“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,” the letter read.
President Zelensky’s Pennsylvania stop included meetings with Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, a high-profile Democrat recently seen as a key figure in the Democratic Party’s bid to retain the White House. Further fueling the investigation, Zelensky made comments critical of the Trump-Vance ticket during a recent interview with The New Yorker. While no formal charges have been filed, the investigation is expected to examine whether the Biden-Harris Administration’s actions could amount to an ethical violation or potential criminal misuse of federal resources.
Republican lawmakers argue that the situation mirrors the accusations that Democrats levied against Trump during the Ukraine scandal. In a separate letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Comer reiterated the gravity of the matter, stating, “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.”
Tensions between former President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky have recently escalated. The friction, which began shortly after Zelensky’s arrival in the U.S. for the U.N. General Assembly, has only intensified as both sides traded sharp remarks. The situation is adding strain to an already fragile relationship, raising concerns over potential diplomatic fallout. Zelensky recently called Trump’s running mate J.D. Vance (R-OH) “too radical” in an interview with The New Yorker.
