Officials Struggled With Trump’s Ukraine Aid Freeze, Emails Show

The Trump administration successfully stonewalled a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit for the messages during his first impeachment.

WASHINGTON — After President Trump ordered a freeze in 2019 on security assistance to Ukraine, puzzled national security officials asked whether he was trying to “gain leverage” over its leaders in his dealings with the country, according to internal emails the Trump administration successfully fought to keep secret during his first impeachment.

The New York Times obtained the emails via a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, fulfilling a request filed on Sept. 26, 2019 — two days after the House began the impeachment inquiry, and the day a whistle-blower complaint became public accusing Mr. Trump of abusing his power to coerce Ukraine into announcing investigations that could aid his bid for re-election.

The newly available documents dovetail with the basic narrative of the Ukraine affair that emerged from Mr. Trump’s first impeachment. They also provided additional details.
