In a surprising twist, Senator J.D. Vance has uncovered what he calls an “impeachment time bomb” tucked away in the $95 billion Senate bill to fund the Ukraine War. Vance, a Republican from Ohio, is urging his fellow conservatives to vote against the bill, warning that it could set a trap for former President Donald Trump if he is reelected. According to Vance, buried within the bill’s text is a provision that would fund Ukraine until September 30, 2025, which is almost a year into a possible second term for Trump.
Vance highlights the fact that this is the same funding that Trump was impeached for pausing back in 2019. Democrats had accused Trump of freezing aid to Ukraine in order to dig up dirt on Joe Biden and his son Hunter. However, Vance argues that Trump had a legitimate reason to pause the aid, as he wanted to investigate the alleged corruption involving the Bidens and Ukraine.

This revelation has caused quite a stir, with even Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, expressing his disbelief at the situation. Vance warns that if Trump were to withdraw or pause financial support for Ukraine, even in an effort to resolve the conflict peacefully, Democrats would seize the opportunity to impeach him once again. He believes that this bill is a subtle attempt by the deep state to undermine Trump and his administration.
The Senate is set to vote on the bill later today, but Vance is urging all Republicans to oppose its passage. He asserts that this bill is nothing more than a secret set of handcuffs designed to hinder Trump’s foreign policy goals. Former Acting Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell agrees, calling for the removal of the impeachment time bomb from the bill.
It remains to be seen how the Senate will respond to Vance’s warning, but one thing is clear: the fight over Ukraine funding is far from over. If anything, this revelation only further highlights the deep divide between Republicans and Democrats when it comes to foreign policy and the fate of the former president.
