State Department watchdog requests "urgent" Congress meeting on Ukraine

State Department Inspector General Steve Linick has requested to meet Wednesday with a number of Senate and House committees "to discuss and provide staff with copies of documents related to the State Department and Ukraine," according to a letter first reported by the Washington Post.

Why it matters: The details of the "urgent" briefing are unknown, but the news follows an escalating war of words between Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and key House committees investigating President Trump's alleged efforts to pressure Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden.

According to CNN's Manu Raju, the inspector general will meet with the following committees:

House Foreign Affairs
Senate Foreign Relations
House Appropriations
Senate Appropriations
House Oversight
Senate Homeland Security
House Intelligence
Senate Intelligence

that's why it doesn't matter ..There's really no point in writing and publishing an article about an urgent meeting when the writer doesn't know what the urgent meeting is about ..
