Congressmen ask whether U.S. involvement in N.K. funds transfer is legal

WASHINGTON, June 12 (Yonhap) -- A group of Republican congressmen sought on Tuesday an evaluation of the legality of reported U.S. efforts to help transfer North Korean funds linked to illicit sources.

Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Florida), ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and five other Republicans signed a letter asking the Government Accountability Office (GAO) for the evaluation.
