Republican lawmaker and former FBI agent Brian Fitzpatrick is calling for an investigation into restrictions on Starshield for Ukraine. He says that if Elon Musk ordered the slowdown, it was likely illegal because Musk can make decisions about civilian Starlink, but not Starshield, which Fitzpatrick described as a military national security asset. He says he is prepared to call everyone involved, including Musk, before Congress to testify under oath. #Ukraine

"Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) told CNN's Kaitlan Collins on Tuesday that if Musk ordered a lapse in Starshield coverage for Ukraine, as a report says, "that is likely a violation of the law." Musk has authority over Starlink, the commercial satellite internet service, but not Starshield, which the congressman called "a military-grade national security tool.""
