According to CNBC, Democratic Representatives Sam Liccardo, Ro Khanna, and Jimmy Panetta from Silicon Valley sent a letter on Friday to White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, requesting a government-wide investigation into recent restrictions on SpaceX's Starlink (military version Starshield) in Ukraine. Ukrainian officials stated that these restrictions are ongoing and have impacted their military capabilities. The representatives noted in the letter that if the Democratic Party wins control of the House in the November 3rd midterm elections, they will prioritize investigating the Starlink disruptions and review federal grants to Musk's company to ensure it fulfills its contractual obligations and prevents political interference.
