Democrats on the House Oversight and Reform Committee announced Tuesday that they are launching an investigation into the Trump administration’s dealings with Saudi Arabia after several reports of whistleblowers claiming that there have been efforts to sell the kingdom nuclear technology.
The announcement came at the same time as the committee’s report, entitled “Whistleblowers Raise Grave Concerns with Trump Administration’s Efforts to Transfer Sensitive Nuclear Technology to Saudi Arabia” prepared for Chairman Elijah E. Cummings, which suggested that senior White House officials pushed for the sale of nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia despite warnings from ethics advisers and national security officials.
The company in question is called IP3 International. Flynn was an adviser to the company from June 2016 to December 2016, while at the same time he served on Trump’s presidential campaign and transition team. It alleges Flynn had made a decision to adopt IP3’s nuclear plan for Saudi Arabia, dubbed the Middle East Marshall Plan.
