the move was at the direction of the president. But documents released Friday night show that President Donald Trump first started inquiring about the aid as early as June.
President Donald Trump speaks before signing the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 at Andrews Air Force Base, Md., Dec. 20, 2019, before traveling to Mar-a-lago in Palm Beach, Fla. The possibility of a hold up when it was announced on July 18 immediately sparked confusion and concerns from National Security Council officials and diplomats. This prompted a series of NSC-led inter-agency meetings, during which officials came to a unanimous conclusion that the security assistance should be resumed, according to several witnesses' testimony in the House impeachment inquiry.
As the officials involved their lawyers, they also seem to have engaged in an effort to prevent the information from leaking."Given the sensitive nature of the request, I appreciate your keeping that information closely held to those who need to know to execute the direction," Duffey wrote to several OMB and DoD officials the same day of the call.
SamChampion You kniw dummy is not ready anything just looking at pictures😱😱😱
Put being sworn into Congress with your hand on the Koran is OK
they are not turning over any documents on the aid. Rudy has documents proving Biden corruption scandal and corruption in the US embassy,. He has proof of Ukraine interfering in the elections and giving Hillary millions for her campaign.
Thank God for the Freedom of Information Act!
Remove this dangerous man from our WH !!! ImpeachAndRemove
Another Fake News from ABC. Keep digging and you will find Democrats lies!
Nobody cares
maybe that's the reason he is guilty of every charge against him ! And IMPEACHED !
SCREW impeachment!! Start talking about: 🔥 Obama administration FISA Warrant abuses to spy on Trump! TRUMP isn’t going ANYWHERE until we get some answers! Crimes WERE committed!! Where are the 4am FBI raids on THOSE FOLKS HOMES?
Nothing unusual about funding being held until all questions or issues are resolved. All aid was released before deadline.
Uh oh JoeBiden
SamChampion
Hell_HasCome Forced to by a judge I'm assuming. No way they would do it by subpoena or request.
What if he pulls a Hillary and destroys them. If Hillary can do it and the Democrats are ok with it then Trump can do it also
Exonerating evidence in that article. POTUS was worried about what it would be spent on and also how much other NATO countries were contributing
Fake news

SamChampion Apparently FOIA will be the key!
So it really wasn’t very hard to get the documents through the proper channels of the courts. This makes the Democrats in the House of representatives look like fools for hurrying the impeachment.
Why don’t you talk about the economy and how well we are doing stop talk about crap regular Americans don’t care about! We care about taking care of our family and putting food in the table!
More and more is coming out to prove Trumps corrupt. Let Trump testify, he'll tell the truth under oath like Bill Clinton did about his sex act in the Oval office.
They need to force Joe Biden to tell what he knows about he and his son Hunters million-dollar extortion deal with Ukraine
So what do you really think you can beet Donald Trump pence if God wants them there I don't think so they didn't have a chance in hell against Hillary Clinton but that queen lost😇😇
Smells like Schiff
You are still in Ukraine?
Yeah... so we're to expect that donald 'im not a crook, everyone else is lying' trump, didnt have his people doctor any of the documents. After he held them for this long

Political storms are less predictable than Nature. We have been able to use radar and tech to predict with much accuracy. Artificial intelligence & Data Mining help predict and mold elections but the tables turn much faster.
Still hunting for evidence eh?
He won’t comply. He is completely lawless
What? They want the receipt?
Someday we will know everything. IMPOTUS is scared of that. The Russian Oligarchs MONEY. Epstein girls. Shell Companies. Money Laundering. Taxes. Ivanka and Azerbaijan deal. Jared and the Saudi Prince. TURKEY. Hush Money. So many CONS!
Cattle and sheep
One for our country 👊🇺🇸
Sick
BID DEAL, NOW LET'S SEE THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATIONS TRANSCRIPTS WITH RUSSIA , IRAN, AND UKRAINE?
So grateful for the Freedom of Information Act and the judge that upheld it
Good, get to the truth.
Everything here supports the president’s reasons as to why the aid was held up
Guilty
So you have evidence establishing that the people who testify against Trump were on their own accord illegally withholding info from the Congress. And somehow you suggest that this is evidence against Trump.
Too bad the dems rushed impeachment and blew it. America wanted a fair hearing and we didn’t get one
Putin2020
Non issue, snowflakes
Blah blah blah. National Inquirer step asidefor ABC garbage 🗑
He is innocent ! The call was perfect and he is just like Jesus. gopisstupid GOPCorruptionOverCountry
Breaking News!
Who cares....Move on!!
Given the state of the “administration” do you really think they gave you the truth? Lying is a way of life for these traitors. You know it too!
'there's no proof' haha
NO FAKE NEWS TWO UKRAINE WITNESSES AGAINST THE BIDEN FOUND FLOATING DEAD TODAY FAKE NEWS IS CORRUPT IMO!!
This isn’t good for an administration that hates transparency.
Not going to do any good. We're still going to elect him to a second term in a landslide.
impotus
Based on new information showing how Ukraine aid was being siphoned off by the US embassy into George Soros NGO's I think we can safely say that Ukraine shouldn't be getting any aid until this problem is resolved.
Things will become clearer as to why POTUS wants a quick & speedy Senate trial. January 6th is when things pick back up, this all seems far from over.
