Jack Reed: “I am requesting that this Committee begin an immediate inquiry into the facts and circumstances surrounding this effort.”

The President has waged this war without public support or congressional consent, and it is far past time for accountability.

His administration removed Nicolás Maduro from power, threw its weight behind the unelected leadership that replaced Maduro, and is now attempting to use U.S. military assets and taxpayer-backed financing to boost a private oil venture.

While the President and his family accumulate billions of dollars through dubious deals, normal hardworking Americans are struggling just to get by.

President Trump’s effort to turn the U.S. military into an investor in Venezuelan oil is a blatant abuse of power and taxpayer dollars.
