Excerpt: " 'I can’t begin to tell you how insane this is,' said Fred Wellman, an Army combat veteran now running for Congress as a Democrat in Missouri. 'He did not inform Congress, but he’s saying he informed the oil companies.'

" 'Keep in mind who he means,' Wellman added. 'The #billionaire #MegaDonor that just got control of #Citgo. Our service members were used directly to move the interests of Trump’s #donors.'

" 'The oil companies were notified before Congress,' said Melanie D’Arrigo, executive director of the Campaign for New York Health. 'This is what an authoritarian oligarchy looks like.' "
