GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz introduced a resolution Monday to require President Biden to give the House all documents about military assistance to Ukraine and direct Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to disclose the number of U.S. service members deployed to Ukraine without congressional approval.
Gaetz presented his so-called "privileged" resolution, which is given priority to be brought to the floor before regular House matters, after Massachusetts Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira was charged under the Espionage Act last week with storing and leaking classified documents.
Among the documents allegedly leaked onto a Discord online group chat, one dated March 2023 shows that 14 U.S. special forces were deployed in Ukraine, Gaetz said.
Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Dr. Colin Kahl told Gaetz earlier this year that "a couple dozen" Department of Defense personnel are stationed at the U.S. Embassy. in Ukraine.
Last week, Pentagon Inspector General Robert said that 20 people engaged in overseeing Ukraine aid are deployed in the region, mostly in Germany.
"The Biden Administration and other allied countries have been misleading the world on the state of the war in Ukraine," said Gaetz, a Florida lawmaker. "There must be total transparency from this administration to the American people when they are gambling war with a nuclear adversary by having special forces operating in Ukraine."

I must say Matt Gaetz is becoming more impressive by the day because he fights and generally picks the rights fights.
“. . . to disclose U.S. troops in Ukraine”
Shouldn’t it be for U. S. troops in any country abroad?
I want John Kerry to come out and explain why secret wars in countries where we’re not supposed to be, are a good thing. When Democrats do it.
It’s all reminiscent of Ghengis Khan.
Will Victoria Nuland ever be brought to justice?
And the tens of billions in dark money pi$$ed away by the CIA and DOD over the past ten years.
I expect the White House will call him “a terrorist” for suggesting this, or “a traitor.” Something of that type. A “Putin worshiper.”
Matt Gaetz is the real genius on Capitol Hill, and the guy who understands the real way the government is set up, and should, but doesn’t, run.
No wonder so many "journalists" succumb to alcoholism. It takes a lot of juice to make Jimminy Cricket shut the hell up.
