BREAKING: Two minutes before midnight, OMB released 192 pages of Ukraine-related records to American Oversight, including emails that have not been previously released. americanoversight.org/omb-releases-u…
The files released tonight include emails sent by OMB Acting Director Russell Vought and Assoc Director for National Security Michael Duffey — two key players in the withholding of Ukraine aid — in on the morning of President Trump’s July 25 call with President Zelensky.
The emails show a flurry of activity in late June 2019 immediately after President Trump began asking questions about news reports that discussed military assistance to Ukraine.
The volume of material released tonight highlights just how much the administration has hidden from Congress and the American public.

Even though President Trump's allies in the Senate voted against subpoenas, more Ukraine documents are coming.

The next production in our FOIA litigation is due next Tuesday, January 28, from the Department of Energy.

Yesterday was the one-year anniversary of the Trump administration's "remain in Mexico" policy.
The policy has had devastating consequences for asylum seekers who are forced to wait in dangerous conditions in Mexico. We're investigating: americanoversight.org/documents?fwp_…
80% of asylum seekers sent to Mexico to await court hearings report being victims of violence. Read more from @guardian: theguardian.com/us-news/2020/j…
@guardian The Trump administration isn't just making life difficult for asylum seekers. This week, the Supreme Court allowed the administration to go ahead with a policy that makes it easier to deny green cards to immigrants deemed likely to need public assistance: politico.com/news/2020/01/2…

The State Department has yet to release details about a 2017 secretive meeting in China with private equity investors convened by the president's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and U.S. Ambassador Terry Branstad: cnbc.com/2020/01/30/tru…
At the time of the meeting, the Kushner family was under fire for its pursuit of overseas investors while Jared Kushner occupied a senior role working in foreign policy.

Trump's family members have a habit of mixing government and business. Just like Trump himself...
While we don't know the details of the meeting either, we did obtain a 2017 note from Terry Branstad thanking Jared Kushner for the "essential role" he played in the president’s visit. It is unclear what essential role he played: americanoversight.org/document/state…

NEW: The Department of Energy just released 139 pages of records to American Oversight in response to our FOIA lawsuit — including what appears to be Secretary Rick Perry's briefing book for his May 2019 delegation to Ukraine. americanoversight.org/energy-departm…
Perry was one of the Trump administration's "three amigos" running Ukraine policy, but relatively little has been revealed — or released to Congress — about his role.

These pages give us a window into Perry's May 2019 delegation to Zelensky's inauguration
For example, here are Rick Perry's talking points for his meeting with President Zelensky. americanoversight.org/document/doe-r…

🚨BREAKING: beginning in November, as Putin's pal @realDonaldTrump faced #impeachment for extorting #Ukraine to investigate the Bidens, #Russian🇷🇺GRU military hackers–the SAME group that hacked @TheDemocrats in 2016–attempted to hack Burisma.

#TrumpRussia
nytimes.com/2020/01/13/us/…
@realDonaldTrump @TheDemocrats As they did in the 2016 election, #Russian🇷🇺hackers used phishing emails designed to steal usernames/passwords, set up fake websites that mimicked Burisma sign-in pages, and have been blasting Burisma employees with emails that look like they are coming from inside the firm.🤬
@realDonaldTrump @TheDemocrats The #Russians🇷🇺successfully got access to at least 1 of Burisma's servers. These attacks are running parallel to an effort by Russian spies to dig up dirt in #Ukraine that could embarrass the Bidens, including emails, financial records and legal documents.

State Department, just before a midnight deadline tonight, released to @weareoversight 71 pages of Ukraine-related records including text messages/calendar entries of Kurt Volker, former special envoy to Ukraine. Most previously been released to House. Still fascinating reading
@weareoversight Here is the entire collection of materials that were released to American Oversight, which sued State Department to get the text messages and other materials. documentcloud.org/documents/6616…
@weareoversight Here is a very similar set of text messages from Volker, released by House investigators in October. So far, not seeing major new material in what was released tonight. documentcloud.org/documents/6616…

💣Aiding&Abetting💣:

The years long narrative ‘Ukraine rather than RU meddled in the 2016 elex’ is a RU Intel Op, US Intel says.

US Intel officials informed senators and their aides of the origin of this narrative & how it serves RU

Yet GOP continue to amplify the falsehoods
💣Aiding&Abetting💣

RU had engaged in a yearslong campaign to essentially frame Ukraine as responsible for Moscow’s own hacking of the 2016 election.

The briefing came as Republicans stepped up their defenses of Mr. Trump in the Ukraine affair.
💣Aiding&Abetting3💣

The revelations demonstrate Russia’s persistence in trying to sow discord among its adversaries — and show that the Kremlin apparently succeeded, as unfounded claims about Ukrainian interference seeped into Republican talking points

#BREAKING: TWO WEEKS BEFORE INAUGURATION TRUMP WAS SHOWN PROOF PUTIN PERSONALLY ORDERED U.S. ELECTION HACK AND INTERFERENCE.

Trump was shown messages from Russian Military.

Each time he's cast doubt, he lied to cover up Russia's attack on our democracy.
nytimes.com/2018/07/18/wor…
#OBVIOUSLY: None of this is surprising. But would love to hear what Republicans have to say now...

What about the House Intel Republicans who claimed that they did not believe Putin personally ordered election interference to help Trump and hurt Hilary?
#RELATED: Trump and Clinton were both warned by the FBI in Summer 2016 that Russia COULD TRY TO INFILTRATE or SPY ON THEIR CAMPAIGNS.

Trump has claimed multiple times that the FBI and Obama Administration didn't warn him and did nothing to stop Russia...
