Fox News
An individual impersonating the Ukrainian minister of foreign affairs reportedly contacted Democratic Sen. Benjamin Cardin this week, pressing him for foreign policy information.
"In recent days, a malign actor engaged in a deceptive attempt to have a conversation with me by posing as a known individual. After immediately becoming clear that the individual I was engaging with was not who they claimed to be, I ended the call and my office took swift action, alerting the relevant authorities."

He continued, "This matter is now in the hands of law enforcement, and a comprehensive investigation is underway."
