Jack Reed: “The threat of sequestration is, as you said, 'a national security crisis of the first order.'”

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.

President Trump has been explicit about his desire to extract Venezuela's oil," Reed said in a statement.

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

A blatant abuse of power and taxpayer dollars.
