2019-11-24 | White House review turns up emails showing extensive effort to justify Trump’s decision to block Ukraine military aid - The Washington Post

'Trump had made the decision the prior month without an assessment of the reasoning or legal justification, according to two White House officials. '

'The White House released the funding to Ukraine on Sept. 11. '

'Sandy testified that he had never seen a senior political OMB official assume control of a portfolio in such a fashion, according to the people familiar with his testimony. '

'Along with examining documents, the review has also involved interviewing some key White House officials involved in handling Ukraine aid and dealing with complaints and concerns in the aftermath of the call between Trump and Zelensky. '

'Emails show Vought and OMB staffers arguing that withholding aid was legal, while officials at the National Security Council and State Department protested. '
