Not sure what the news is here and a similar report from CNN. We have known since December there are emails White House has about the aid freeze that have not been released. And that they date back to June 2019. washingtonpost.com/politics/justi…
Here is one of those emails from June 2019 that says POTUS FOLLOW UP. So we know the aid freeze as of June 2019 was a directive from President Trump. And we have all had this email since December, in a redacted state.
Some of us--like Just Security and others I cannot name--have also seen unredacted versions of this email. So no news here, as far as I can tell. This is from early January. justsecurity.org/67863/exclusiv…
And at The NYT, we did a story in December, based on insight into the White House and documents and interviews, that showed what was happening as of June 2019 re the questions about and the hold on military aid imposed by Trump. nytimes.com/2019/12/29/us/…
It is true that DOJ on Friday filed a response to a lawsuit from Center for Public Integrity that details why it thinks it should not have to release undacted/less redacted versions of emails. But that Summary Judgment motion breaks almost no new ground. documentcloud.org/documents/6749…
Here is another document associated with that response by DOJ. documentcloud.org/documents/6749…
Now you are up to date and I can get back to other things I was working on.
