Galloway speaks to the media after arriving Monday at Dulles International Airport outside Washington.
(CNN) -- British Parliament member George Galloway will face his accusers when he testifies Tuesday before a U.S. Senate panel probing the U.N. oil-for-food program in Iraq.
Galloway is due to appear before the U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, which stated in a report last week that deposed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein granted him vouchers for 20 million barrels of oil between 2000 and 2003.
**SNIP**
Galloway is scheduled to appear late Tuesday morning in Washington as the final witness in a hearing that begins at 9:30 a.m. ET.
**SNIP**
Galloway, 51, who met with Saddam several times in the 1990s, has been a leading critic of British Prime Minister Tony Blair and his alliance with U.S. President George Bush in the war with Iraq. He was re-elected on an anti-war platform earlier this month.
**SNIP**
A new report from Democrats on the Senate subcommittee concludes the United States ended up with a majority of the oil lifted from Iraq after vendors paid illicit surcharges of 10 cents to 30 cents a barrel to Saddam.
**SNIP**
The Democratic report found Bayoil shipped a lot of oil allocated to a company called Italtech run by Augusto Giangrandi, a sometime Florida resident with dual Chilean-Italian citizenship.

OH, he donated to "our campaign" --- never personally received any money! HA!
LOL! At a minimum!
Levin up
Here comes Gallaway's defense (DEMOCRATS).
YEAH....the meaning of "is" is...????the meaning of "donation" is?
oh, not you , STFU , Fox
Will Levin jump to his defense or attack him from the rear?
Old news with Wendel now. I don't get it... the Galloway lynching is not important?
Galloway not answering at all..Levin a little peeved
Coleman establishes that Galloway's friend who was chairman of Marium's Appeal was doing extensive business in Iraq.
Galloway claims this was none of his business and he was ignorant of this.
Galloway says he checked Coleman's website for contributors and says he doubts Coleman vetted how they all made their money.
Coleman notes the huge amounts here would have drawn attention.
Galloway keeping it personal by repeatedly referring to "you" to Coleman and now cites how "you" have claimed I enriched myself.
Coleman calmly proceeds to a document where Galloway was seeking his friend's oil connections. Coleman asks why he's now claiming he didn't know.
Levcin up -- now that makes me glad I can't hear or see it.
HAHAHAHA ... He keeps cutting off Levin
BAD MOVE ON HIS PART!
Coleman needs to take control of galloway and tell him to stop grandstanding and just answer the questions.
Levin is on the attack here. Fascinating....
To Levin: saying he has no way of knowing if it is a fake document..It is wrong..
"You have already found me guilty"
Galloway now says he did now his friend was doing business in Iraq. Huge business and he disclosed this.
Just didn't ask about trading in oil.
this is NUTS , ... sometimes I wonder about Ailes , they say he's brilliant but that morning show is UNWATCHABLE
Exactly -- the similarity "is" striking!
Back to the hearings.
Shall I call FNC again?
