A Ukraine aid supplemental negotiated by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senate GOP leadership includes a provision setting the stage for a potential third impeachment of Donald Trump, according to Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance.
“The supplemental represents an attempt by the foreign policy blob/deep state to stop President Trump from pursuing his desired policy, and if he does so anyways, to provide grounds to impeach him and undermine his administration,” Vance wrote in a letter sent to congressional Republicans on Monday. “All Republicans should oppose its passage.”
Vance’s letter is in reference to a $95 billion aid package advanced by the Senate on Sunday, which includes funding for (mostly) Ukraine, as well as Israel and Taiwan. Noticeably, the measure — which was supported by 18 Republicans — does not address the ongoing invasion at the U.S. southern border.
According to Vance, the package includes a provision that would not only allow the “foreign policy blob” to pour U.S. taxpayer dollars into Ukraine well into Trump’s potential second term, but it would also provide congressional Democrats with a bogus reason to impeach the former president (again) should he follow through on his pledge to end the ongoing conflict.
Buried within the supplemental advanced by the Senate is $13.7 billion for the Defense Department’s Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative. As highlighted by Vance, House Democrats impeached Trump in 2019 over the latter’s decision to withhold foreign aid to Ukraine, including “$250 million through the … Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative.” Desperate to damage
