'Do Your Homework!' Democrat Rips Trump Official for Refusing to Say Whether Putin Is a 'War Criminal' in Fiery Hearing

Rep. Bill Keating (D-MA) grilled Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security Thomas DiNanno during a tense House hearing on Wednesday.

DiNanno appeared before the House Foreign Affairs Committee and Keating used his time to inform DiNanno he needs to do his “homework.” The lawmaker blasted the U.S. pulling back support in areas for Ukraine, which DiNanno denied was under his “purview.”

Keating accused DiNanno of lowering support for “mobile fire teams” and prosecutors targeting war crimes in Ukraine. The lawmaker became especially frustrated when DiNanno refused to give a “yes or no” answer on whether Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is a “war criminal.”

“You’re also cutting the support we have for the general prosecutor in Ukraine that’s prosecuting war crimes. Is Vladimir Putin a war criminal, sir?” he asked. “That’s well outside of my purview,” DiNanno said.
