Silicon Valley Democrats demand probe into Starlink restrictions in Ukraine

A group of California House Democrats asked the White House to investigate the temporary restriction of Starshield, SpaceX's military-grade Starlink service, in Ukraine. Led by Reps. Sam Liccardo, Ro Khanna and Jimmy Panetta, the lawmakers said they would make the probe a priority if Democrats win the House in the Nov. 3 midterms.

• The letter was addressed to White House chief of staff Susie Wiles
• Starshield was restricted in Ukraine for a period, limiting its military capabilities
• WSJ reported Musk ordered the restriction, lifted after a Trump call
• Democrats vow to scrutinize federal funding for Musk's companies
