(Worthy News) – The House passed Wednesday a measure encouraging President Biden to tap the proceeds from assets seized from Russian oligarchs to provide aid to Ukraine.
The bill, which was introduced in the House by Reps. Tom Malinowski, New Jersey Democrat, and Joe Wilson, South Carolina Republican, passed 417-8 and now proceeds to the Senate.
