The US Congress wants to investigate the role of the White House in the slowdown of Starlink in Ukraine, the Wall Street Journal writes. The senators from the Democratic Party, who after the mid-week elections will receive a majority in both houses of Congress, demanded from the head of SpaceX Elon Musk to keep all the documents regarding the restrictions on the operation of the satellite service and the military version of Starshield in Ukraine, the newspaper writes. According to the WSJ, Democrats plan to launch a series of investigations into the Trump administration's actions regarding the war in Ukraine. Democratic members of Congress in a letter to Moss emphasized that the slowdown in satellite services in Ukraine raises "serious questions about SpaceX's control" over national security communications channels and criticized the "decision-making process." They asked if anyone outside SpaceX had reprimanded these limitations. Lawmakers are demanding Moss release a significant portion of SpaceX documents starting Sept. 1, including all correspondence related to Starlink and Starshield in Ukraine, as well as correspondence between Musk, SpaceX executives, the White House and the Pentagon. The senators ordered the company to certify compliance and answer specific oversight questions by Nov. 30. @wglavnoe.
