Two U.S. senators have asked Mongolia to allow U.S. businessman Justin Kapla, who is a witness in a corruption investigation, to exit the country.
Minnesota senators Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken requested Mongolia allow Kapla to return to the U.S. on “humanitarian” grounds to spend time with his ailing stepfather, according to copies of the letters that Kapla sent to Bloomberg News. The letters were confirmed by Erik Wadkins, a press assistant in Klobuchar’s office in Washington, D.C., and Michael Dale-Stein, deputy press secretary in Franken’s Washington, D.C. office.
