Defense for Policy Under Secretary Colin Kahl shut down Rep. Matt Gaetz after the congressman cited Chinese 'propaganda' from the Global Times during a hearing Tuesday. 'As a general matter, I don't take Beijing's Propaganda at face value,' Kahl said.
During the House Armed Services Committee hearing, the Florida congressman grilled Department of Defense Inspector General Robert Storch about reports of top Ukrainian officials who has resigned amid corruption scandals and asked him whether he could"testify truthfully under oath that the DOD has complied with the policy and law regarding in-use monitoring during all times of this conflict.
Gaetz also noted that the Arms Control Act requires in-use monitoring for certain defense articles sold or released, including those given to Ukraine. He then turned to Colin Kahl, Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, to ask if Azov Battalion, a far-right, volunteer-based military group that has been integrated into the Ukrainian National Guard in 2014, had access to U.S. aid sent to Ukraine.
