NEW: White House officials requested that aid to Ukraine be held within 90 minutes of Pres. Trump's phone call with Ukrainian Pres. Zelenskiy, according to newly obtained documents by publicintegrity.

"The president has asked about this funding release," Duffey emailed DoD deputy comptroller Elaine McCusker on June 19, just one day after DoD first publicly announced the funding. Duffey included a link to a news article about the announcement, suggesting it was the source of the president's renewed interest."I have been tasked to follow-up with someone over there to get more details," Duffey continues.

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.a similar exchange in his testimony to the House Intelligence Committee."I heard the president had seen a media report, and he had questions about the assistance," Sandy told the committee. He testified it was Duffey who first communicated the president's concerns to him on June 19.

The emails released Friday echo those concerns among OMB officials right after the July 25 call and reveal an almost immediate effort to involve legal counsel in the process. This effort could be seen as a violation of the Impoundment Control Act-- a law which states that Congress must be alerted and approve of any shift in funds they have already appropriated-- if the intention was to keep the information"closely held" from Congress, according to Public Integrity.

publicintegrity All bullshit! Go after crooked and mean, defensive, Biden!

publicintegrity So this is not Proof of anything , It is an assumption again. You cannot impeach a Pres with assumptions. AND our Pres can think & change things not quid pro quo if not used as one. Dems r trying so hard to find something they make things up to try & make it work. MAGA

publicintegrity And the evidence is overwhelming.

publicintegrity So

publicintegrity Prediction: The Trump strategy will be to unveil another smoking gun each week to distract us from the previous ones.

publicintegrity

publicintegrity What a lie this is. We have the transcript he never pressured zelinski. But Biden did nothing? The 98 treaty under class baton says he is to uphold corruption. Quit twisting the facts. That 2019 special disgraceful liars abc!

publicintegrity That’s such a complete lie. He gave them military aid 3 times. He does not have to give them anything. Obama gave them some meals & blankets as Russia invaded them. He with held military aid. Sold 20% of uranium to Russia Hilary took 143 m.

publicintegrity FakeNews

publicintegrity It was a perfect bribe. Perfect. No one can deny it.

publicintegrity What does the inclusion of that fact matter? Withholding aid was NOT mentioned on the call, Ukraine didn’t know until later that it was withheld, & even once they did, up to & including now, they said it did not pressure or concern them.

publicintegrity Deep-state setup. He is threatening their way of life. Keep digging, the more the merrier.

publicintegrity Did anyone mention that someone should hang for this, say DevinNunesIsAnIdiot?

publicintegrity Yes a PERFECT CALL!?

publicintegrity 90 minutes or 90 seconds won’t make him any guiltier than he already is!

publicintegrity Guess what? Aid was released the same day Ukraine passed anti corruption legislation on Sept 11th. Strange, huh?

publicintegrity So what, he was within his legal rights to withhold the $ within the calendar year thanks to a bill signed by Democrat President Carter!

publicintegrity Requested aid be withheld, then demanded keeping it secret from Congress & the country. Then locked the call transcript away. This is a conspiracy orchestrated by realDonaldTrump ,who continues to block testimony from everyone directly involved. coverup

publicintegrity Slowly but surely the truth is coming to the forefront.

publicintegrity Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia

publicintegrity But Trump did nothing wrong. Now the truth comes out.

publicintegrity More evidence and he will be called innocent in the senate

publicintegrity Oh please. Speculating and it’s getting old.

DrJohnCav publicintegrity Oops

publicintegrity wedontcare

publicintegrity ABC SUX!

publicintegrity What about when Biden withheld money to Ukraine?

publicintegrity

publicintegrity Once again the Democrats screwed up the impeachment process by not submitting the papers to the Senate. Technically Trump hasn't been impeached. RashidaTlaib is having a fit and blaming SpeakerPelosi

publicintegrity

publicintegrity Awesome!

publicintegrity the trump admin can only get away with that by the senate who facilitate this illegal behavior by ignoring it or pretending it is not happening.

publicintegrity Deadline for aid was September 30 released on September 11. Nothing in return so....

jadedview69 publicintegrity FakeNewsMedia

publicintegrity The Office of Management and Budget's counsel wrote in a letter Wednesday that temporarily blocking hundreds of millions of dollars of military aid to Ukraine for months was justified, and that the office was under no obligation to tell Congress about the pause.

publicintegrity Getting bored

publicintegrity Ooooooooooo... Got him dead bang! Wait.. No.. It doesn't mean anything.. Never mind... You still can't impeach a president for asking about Joe Biden's Ukrainian kickbacks

publicintegrity Hey ABC, we now have proof via the IG Report of how biased and unfair your reporting over the last 3 years has been. So my question is, what are you planning to do about it to cleanup your house? Or will you stay a Democrat propaganda machine acting like your fair?

publicintegrity realDonaldTrump uh oh, Merry Xmas to all!

publicintegrity Oh, would you just stop it. I love my President. He did nothing wrong

publicintegrity So again....we’re REALLY MAD that he held up OUR MONEY instead of giving to ANOTHER COUNTRY to buy WEAPONS! Mean while we don’t want to find OUR OWN MILITARY!!!

publicintegrity Thanks for the update ABC. We know you stand with our President. 🙄

publicintegrity About time ABC caught up!

publicintegrity Lie

publicintegrity He could say he did it, he could so it was a quid pro quo. He could say anything he wants in no uncertain terms and guess what? GOP will still vote NO in the Senate.

publicintegrity

publicintegrity So typical of fake News, they don't get to the valid reasons Trump withheld aid until the end of their attempted propaganda.

publicintegrity

publicintegrity “Democrats have had an impeachment itch that they’ve been desperate to scratch ever since Donald Trump took office” (Rich Lowry). GetOverIt

publicintegrity Again.. Money should be spent here in the US

publicintegrity Q-U-I-D 👏🏻 P-R-O 👏🏻 Q-U-O

publicintegrity First President in history to have the highest Dow Jones record after being impeached. First President in history to have a job market where more jobs are available then applicants after being impeached First President to give the military a raise after being impeached.

publicintegrity Now try to lie

publicintegrity 'Nothing suspicious about that. Nothing to see here, everything's okay, don't worry about it. And stop asking questions.'

publicintegrity What's the worst that could happen?

publicintegrity .SenDougJones .Sen_JoeManchin .LindseyGrahamSC boys... he's crooked!

publicintegrity trump, are you packing yet?

publicintegrity But but but that's just because he wanted to make sure Zelensky was the real deal y'all, come on

publicintegrity Trump is a criminal and unfit, he must be removed from office.

publicintegrity GO BIRDS!!! COWBOYS SUCK!!!

publicintegrity So he was waiting for the 'favor' for an hour and a half and then said, 'f*ck it, we're not sending them anything until they cooperate with our corrupt plan'.

publicintegrity So?

publicintegrity Bot so safe safe. whatisontheServer ? bribery highCrimes ImpeachAndRemove

publicintegrity You spelled old, but timely released wrong.

publicintegrity And within 6 hours of Biden’s threat to withhold 1 billion dollars, poof, the guy investigating his sons company was fired. Funny how that stuff works.

publicintegrity

publicintegrity طلب التحري عن شبهات تدور حول مرشح(بايدن) محتمل لرئاسة أمريكا هو عمل من ضمن إختصاصات الرئيس ، لأن الحفاظ على البلاد تتطلب منع المجرمين و المختلسين من الوصول لسدة الرئاسة .

publicintegrity Dude can't stay out of his own way

publicintegrity But wait I thought it was a 'perfect' phone call and that the President did nothing wrong. I'm confused.

publicintegrity So? Anyway, Biden has so many corrupt friends that Trump got impeached because he was inquiring about Biden’s corruption. Lol Twilight zone? Lol

publicintegrity Give it up. Nothing can stop what is coming. It's going to be biblical. TheGreatAwakening FakeNews Epstein ClintonFoundation hollyweird humantrafficking

publicintegrity So Pres wanted to make sure the funds went where they were suppose to go. What’s wrong with that?

publicintegrity

publicintegrity NoMoreTraitorTrump2020 Why MoscowMitch hiding and protecting the witnesses?

publicintegrity You all need to move on

publicintegrity

publicintegrity no one has seen the documents and the aid got to Ukraine on time, You never did this to Obama who refuse to send aid to Ukraine even when they ask for it

publicintegrity Trumpers believe the Con Man Liar Cheat Thief Dumber than Wallpaper

publicintegrity Biden is honest TRUMPS are CROOKED

publicintegrity PUTINS PUPPET CRIMINAL DONALD

publicintegrity

publicintegrity Wow that is a lot!!! He should be impeached. Who believes this BS? And as a breaking news just PROVIDES more evidence for a clean president, elected from the people.

publicintegrity It would be nice if the SCOTUS would rule on the cases involving Trump and the House committee's. Great Xmas gift it was ruled as hope it will be.

publicintegrity Look at these FakeNews losers still trying to litigate the ImpeachmentScam! 🤣 You FAILED to dupe the public into believing your LIES. Now Trump's numbers are UP and Nancy is scared to push her fake impeachment into the Senate where the Dems will be CRUCIFIED for their lies.

publicintegrity He will never be impeached. Republicans are such partisan hacks, he could literally shoot s/o in the middle of 5th Avenue and they'd still find some crazy reasons to defend him. Your country is going o hell.

publicintegrity This admin refuses to cooperate by withholding documents and preventing key witness testimony And there are politicians who say “I don’t see anything wrong here..” Anyone believing that should be pulled from the hearing. Facts are facts. Admission is admission. ConvictHim

publicintegrity No no no it Russia Russia Russia

publicintegrity Anonymous documents?

publicintegrity America has no news media

publicintegrity Why wasn’t this disclosed earlier?

publicintegrity Proof!

publicintegrity 'Impeach This'. Say it with stickers,

publicintegrity You’ve already impeached him on this. Move on. How about investigate the biden blackmail of ukraine aid? That story hasn’t been done yet.

publicintegrity Old news.

publicintegrity Why are the dems concerned with this fake impeachment and not the corruption by the Bidens? Oh Pelosi has a son working for the same company 🤔🤔🤔how anyone can support them or this sham is blind!

publicintegrity Why did you kill the Epstein story? What did arobach mean when she said she 'had Clinton'?

publicintegrity 90 minutes to ruin two countries?

publicintegrity So?

publicintegrity Removal is NOT a “dead cat” LindseyGrahamSC

publicintegrity You’re toast realDonaldTrump POTUS

publicintegrity So what

publicintegrity Помогать фашистам Украины - это аморально.

publicintegrity And? Why would we continue to throw our money at corrupt officials?

publicintegrity So Trump got off the phone and said 'what can I do to make sure he got the message to investigate the Bidens?'

publicintegrity So?

publicintegrity The aid was already on hold!

publicintegrity The article goes in to say inquires about other NATO Nations contributions were made. Not the smoking gun we were looking for but nice title to lead to that assumption.

publicintegrity ICYMI:

publicintegrity Here’s your “ perfect” phone call, realDonaldTrump

publicintegrity

publicintegrity

publicintegrity We shouldn’t be giving the Ukraine any aid anyways

publicintegrity

publicintegrity

publicintegrity

publicintegrity 'Nothing to see here, folks! No problems at all! You don't need to see any of the paper trail! You don't need to hear from the witnesses! Trust me! Do you think your president would LIE to you?' 'Of course we don't -- but that's because we're nincompoops.'

publicintegrity It’s all consistent with Trump wanting corruption in Ukraine investigated. Period.

publicintegrity Fake News. Prove it or it’s more Lying to America.

publicintegrity So your telling me realDonaldTrump is a liar?

publicintegrity Emails also requested the directive to withhold aid was to be kept secret. If realDonaldTrump did nothing wrong, why were they keeping it from Congress? coverup

publicintegrity realDonaldTrump

publicintegrity Trump is guilty all day for corruption and should be put in prison for life. He has caused threatening harm on the American people by his corruption.

publicintegrity The perfect call!!!!!

publicintegrity

publicintegrity Which phone call? there was more than one. Do we need the full truth..not just cherry picking.

publicintegrity He did the right thing. The Nation needs to know that the millions and millions of dollars our government hands over to another countries, is worth taking from the tax coffers of the American people. Leaving many of our own challenges here at home, bare and exposed. Performance

publicintegrity MR. TRANSPARENCY !!

publicintegrity Many have been around since the Hussein regime...

publicintegrity In related news, senate Republicans open new investigation into clinton. (um. Sarcasm for you maga supporters)

publicintegrity Now show some fake war footage!!

publicintegrity I’m sorry and the point is? There was no quid pro quo did you read the transcript- however there is video of Biden committing quid pro quo and hunter being paid millions to provide access to the VP- both are crimes - but that does not help the communist talking points

publicintegrity Timing is everything.

IAmJulesWard publicintegrity FACT: this is BRIBERY. Fact: BRIBERY is an impeachable offense. WHAT if a Clinton or Obama did this? You would impeach and REMOVE them from office. SenateGOP senatemajldr SenatorBurr ThomTillis noexcuses

publicintegrity I can see why. I think we need to know why hunter Biden was paid so much yet knows nothing. Why did pay of joe Biden hold aid till a prosecutor was fired who was looking into the company and hunter Biden.

publicintegrity Why was the sod to Lebanon Puerto Rico El Salvador withheld? Why has it been reported on how slow this admin has been releasing aid?

publicintegrity Perfectly innocent, right?

publicintegrity Hey the hippies finally got something right, am I right?

publicintegrity Wow. It’s almost as if the House of Representatives rushed through a half ass impeachment without any actual evidence that got a bipartisan vote against impeaching the President😎. Before knowing all the facts. Yet SpeakerPelosi was able to con enough Dems to vote for it anyway

publicintegrity And they didn’t demanded no one to be fired from their job.. What Biden demanded for Ukraine ?

publicintegrity

publicintegrity 😂 I thought Democrats already had an “indisputable” case against Trump! Every Democrat is on record saying that last week!

publicintegrity Exactly...a brand new President of Ukraine who hadn't been vetted yet to President Trumps liking

publicintegrity The President of the US has the duty to weed out corruption and the right to withhold money.

publicintegrity les responsables de la Maison Blanche ont demandé que l'aide à l'Ukraine soit conservée dans les 90 minutes suivant la présidence. Appel téléphonique de Trump avec le président ukrainien. Zelenskiy, selon des documents récemment obtenus par publicintegrity .
