House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer launched an investigation on Wednesday into Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s recent visit to an ammunition factory in Pennsylvania.

House Republicans have already cried foul on the visit, which Zelenskyy took to thank the workers at a factory that has supplied critical munitions in Ukraine’s war with Russia, because several Democrats joined him for a public appearance. Comer took a different tack on Wednesday, instead focusing on Zelenskyy visiting a presidential battleground state.

The Kentucky Republican sent letters on Wednesday to Attorney General Merrick Garland, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and White House counsel Edward Siskel, accusing the administration of having facilitated potential meddling in the 2024 presidential election. Comer attempted to contrast the trip with former President Donald Trump’s first impeachment trial, which focused on his attempt to push Zelenskyy to investigate Joe Biden.
