.MaddowBlog: Emails point to ‘clear direction’ from Pres. Trump in Ukraine scheme.
A couple of weeks ago, the Center for Public Integrity obtained 146 pages of heavily redacted emails from the Trump administration through a Freedom of Information Act request and court order, and the revelations helped move the ball forward on better understanding Donald Trump’s Ukraine scandal.
And while those revelations were damaging, the released documents included extensive redactions. It’s against this backdrop that Just Security, a national security website affiliated with the New York University School of Law, reported yesterday on some unredacted copies of relevant emails.This is what Michael Duffey, associate director of national security programs at the Office of Management and Budget , told Elaine McCusker, the acting Pentagon comptroller, in an Aug.
It’s worth emphasizing that neither MSNBC nor NBC News has independently verified Just Security’s reporting, and the networks haven’t viewed the emails or verified their authenticity. “The newly-revealed unredacted emails are a devastating blow to Senator McConnell’s push to have a trial without the documents and witnesses we’ve requested,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a statement in reference to his Republican counterpart. “These emails further expose the serious concerns raised by Trump administration officials about the propriety and legality of the president’s decision to cut off aid to Ukraine to benefit himself.
