Senate Republicans have drafted an amendment to the defense bill to establish a dedicated office solely for auditing U.S. aid to Ukraine.
"Congress has imposed more than two dozen detailed oversight requirements and numerous transparency provisions on aid to Ukraine, but Senate Republicans feel there is still more work to do to improve the process," Wicker told Fox News Digital Wednesday.
Risch told Fox News Digital the U.S."has a legal obligation" to help Ukraine. However, he added"the American people deserve to have every dollar accounted for." "And this amendment will strengthen our long-running efforts to ensure fast and transparent oversight of all aspects of U.S. support to Ukraine," he said.With the lead inspector general obligated to provide timely briefings upon committee or congressional member requests within 15 days, the proposed amendment allocates $10 million from the $886 billion NDAA budget, establishing a team of 30 government employees.
Hawley has been particularly critical of that aid, previously calling for an independent inspector general to audit spending. "I guess all of a sudden we have billions of dollars laying around that we can just give to Ukraine," Hawley told Fox News Channel’s Laura Ingraham in March."It’s an affront to the American taxpayers, the American people, and it’s gotta stop."
