The Trump administration is reportedly still withholding some of the congressionally approved military aid to Ukraine even as impeachment investigators scrutinize President Donald Trump’s decision to delay the aid to leverage political assistance.
The Los Angeles Times reported on Tuesday that it had obtained a Pentagon document showing that Ukraine has not received $35.2 million from the nearly $400 million in military aid that President Donald Trump had halted when he was pressuring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky into investigating his political rivals.
Lt. Col. Carla Gleason, a spokesperson for the Pentagon, told the Times that $36 million in aid has not yet been disbursed to Ukraine but that Ukraine will receive the funds “over the next several weeks.”
The spokesperson did not provide an explanation for the delay.
The White House unfroze the funds on September 11, two days after Congress was alerted to the delay.
Fishier and fishier.
I’m so glad we are going to impeach the m-fer; the only remaining question is whether or not the Senate has the courage to remove him from office. I am not optimistic.
Oh, that’s just shipping & handling. Didn’t they read the fine print at the bottom of the TV screen?
That’s the president’s “taste”.
Didn’t they listen to Gordo when he said that this man is a
mob bossbidness man? Bidness men gottta taste or no deal.Once this nightmare has ended, I want to see a full accounting of just how much taxpayer money went into his pocket, his shell corps, his kids’ accounts, etc.
The prez’nent is trying to find a way to spend the funds at Trump properties.
