CNN: Trump administration officially put hold on Ukraine aid same day as Trump call
The Office of Management and Budget’s first official action to withhold $250 million in Pentagon aid to Ukraine came on the evening of July 25, the same day President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke on the phone, according to a House Budget Committee summary of the office’s documents.
What an amazing coincidence.
July 25: Trump-Zelensky call around 9am. Same day: 2:31p, Pentagon official Laura Cooper testified, the “Ukrainian embassy and House foreign affairs committee are asking about security assistance.” Another email came at 4:25p. Then, OMB official Sandy places hold at 6:44p
