Thomas Tillis To Ask For DOD IG Investigation Of Starlink Ukraine Cutoff Senator Thom Tillis: The latest reporting suggests this strategic snafu may have occurred more locally within DOD Starshield systems, not with Starlink or SpaceX... we’ll be asking the DOD Inspector General to initiate an investigation and report back to Congress ...
