New Damning Docs Released In Ukraine Extortion

The Hill reports:

Newly released documents from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the Pentagon provide further insight into the timeline regarding the White House’s freezing of congressionally-approved aid to Ukraine.

According to the documents, shortly after President Trump’s now-infamous July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, White House aides were tasked with halting the $391 million of military aid.

The obtained documents contain emails sent by senior White House official Michael Duffey. Duffey, a Trump appointee, works through the OMB and is responsible for overseeing national security money.

?This is breaking news and it’s important. New documents show:

1. Ukraine aid was held just hours after the Trump/Zelensky “do us a favor” call

2. Internal notes show Trump’s direct involvement

3. Staff knew it was wrong, kept it secrethttps://t.co/KHhS99oP0h
