📍John “Jay” Rockefeller IV was the great-grandson of John Rockefeller — the founder of the Standard Oil empire and the world’s first dollar billionaire.
📍For over 30 years he represented West Virginia in the U.S. Senate (1985–2015), and earlier he led the state for eight years as governor.
📍He chaired influential Senate committees, including the U.S. Intelligence Committee, which oversaw the activities of American intelligence agencies.
📍In 2008 he led an investigation that found the George W. Bush administration had overstated intelligence about Iraq prior to the war.
📍He also had a political connection to Ukraine: in March 2014 he supported a Senate legislative initiative to aid Ukraine, defend its sovereignty, and impose sanctions in response to Russian aggression.
