Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) asked the U.S. ambassador to Tajikistan to help him move large amounts of money into the country for an Afghanistan rescue effort last week and made threats when he was rebuffed, the Washington Post reports.
Mullin said he was planning to hire a helicopter to evacuate five American citizens, a mother and her four children, and sought the ambassador’s help.
