A group of lawmakers is planning to request a congressional investigation of a $418 million U.S. weapons sale to Kenya approved by the Obama administration on its last day in office.
The sale, approved by the State Department and privately notified to Congress on January 19, would allow Kenya to buy 14 weaponized crop-duster-like planes — including two trainer planes and services, for missions against terrorist group al-Shabaab.
The deal was publicly announced the Monday after Trump’s inauguration.
A handful of lawmakers, led by Rep. Ted Budd (R-NC), are questioning why the contract to produce the planes was awarded to major defense firm L3 Technologies — which has never produced such a plane — while a smaller, disabled veteran-owned company in North Carolina that already make those planes at a lower cost was not considered.
The Mooresville, N.C. company, IOMAX USA Inc., costed out 14 planes at $237 million dollars, according to a Budd aide.

BS. .....dog and pony show
News like this I believe because he was a low life, no good, POS and doesn't surpirse me in the least that he would do this on his last day in office.
Obama is going for another "first." First former president to be prosecuted for committing treason against America while president. Way to go, kids! You guys elected a good one! Twice even.
The deal was made with his relatives in Kenya. Just looking out for family, that's all.
Where are they getting their money? Prime example of misuse of foreign aide which should be withdrawn / stopped ASAP.
Nothing surprises me ....Obama should be Locked up with Hillary !!!!
Obama and Hillary should be charged with TREASON !!!
for all they have done .....
