Markwayne Mullin Singlehandedly Blocked Bill Targeting Corrupt Georgian Officials

Senator Markwayne Mullin (R., Okla.) singlehandedly blocked a sanctions bill targeting corrupt Georgian officials from making it into this year’s National Defense Authorization Act, in a mysterious departure from his previous commitment to aggressively confronting foreign officials who work against American interests.

Mullin, who has established himself as a strong conservative voice and close ally of President Trump, pushed behind the scenes to have visa restrictions against members of the Georgian government removed from the initial package of amendments for the NDAA, two senior congressional aides with knowledge of the situation told National Review.
