Justice Department acknowledges 24 missing emails reveal Trump’s personal thinking on plan to use Ukraine to manipulate the US election

In a midnight court filing, the Justice Department explained why it shouldn’t have to unredact copies of more than 100 emails written by officials at the Office of Management and Budget and the Defense Department about the hold on funds to Ukraine.

Heather Walsh, an OMB lawyer, wrote that of the 111 redacted emails in the lawsuit, 24 are protected by “presidential privilege.”

“Specifically, the documents in this category are emails that reflect communications by either the President, the Vice President, or the President’s immediate advisors regarding Presidential ­decision-making about the scope, duration, and purpose of the hold on military assistance to Ukraine,” Walsh wrote.

The administration ignored a Freedom of Information Act request for the missing emails in December and the government’s filing Friday asked the court to deny the organization’s request for unredacted copies.
