The ghost of impeachment: the court ordered the White House to publish Trump's correspondence about Ukraine
Judge Amy Jackson issued a request demanding the administration of US President Donald Trump to provide electronic correspondence, which spoke about military assistance to Ukraine, in particular, the president’s instruction to suspend such assistance. Writes about it "Voice of America".
The decision was made in a lawsuit filed by The New York Times under the Access to Information Act. Earlier, the White House refused to provide documents to the publication, citing the use of executive privileges.
“Documents in this category are email communications from the President or the Vice President or the President's direct advisers regarding the President's decision on the amount, timing and purpose of withholding military assistance to Ukraine,” said White House Budget Office deputy counsel Geder Walsh.
Judge Jackson presided over the case of Roger Stone, a former adviser to Trump, who was accused of giving false evidence.
