Earlier this month, Florida Senator Marco Rubio teamed up with New Jersey Democratic Senator Bob Menendez in calling for a probe into the Trump administration’s ongoing nuclear power negotiations with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

On his Senate website, it’s explained that both Senators “requested the GAO, a non-partisan agency which conducts studies on behalf of Congress” to “investigate reports that some of the negotiations under the Trump administration have been carried out without the oversight required by the Atomic Energy Act and in an opaque manner inconsistent with previous nuclear agreement negotiations.”

Today, the Florida Senator took to twitter to announce that “the Government Accountability Office has accepted my request to launch a probe into our governments talks on a nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia.”
