George Galloway is preparing to appear before a US Senate committee that has accused him of receiving oil options from Saddam Hussein's regime.
The Respect MP for Bethnal Green & Bow has travelled to Washington for the hearing, but has dubbed the committee's report as "a schoolboy dossier".
The committee alleged Mr Galloway and French politician Charles Pasqua received oil rights from the Iraqis.
Respect has said a document used against Mr Galloway is forged.
BBC correspondents reported that Mr Galloway was "relaxed and jovial" when he arrived in the US, but made it clear he was going to go on the offensive.
"Get a ringside seat," was his advice to journalists.
