Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.) requested House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to hold an investigation in response to more than 30 National Guard members getting sick allegedly from the food they were given during their deployment in Washington last month.

According to ABC News, Smith wrote to Pelosi in a letter that National Guard members from various states “have become ill due to tainted and unhealthy food from a private-sector vendor.”
