Read original story ↗Senator Richard Blumenthal asked SpaceX for records of restrictions on Ukraine's Starlink and military Starshield services, including communications with the White House and Pentagon. His October 22 letter sets out conflicting accounts from Musk, Trump and officials about who authorized the limits. The request establishes an oversight inquiry; it does not settle responsibility or prove coordination to benefit Russia.
