The US has criticized a new law that allows Poland’s ruling party to probe opposition leader Donald Tusk just months before a tightly contested election.
Ambassador Mark Brzezinski raised concerns about the legislation on Monday hours after President Andrzej Duda approved the creation of a special parliamentary panel to investigate Russia’s influence in Poland between 2007 and 2022.
