Employees of the White House's Office of Management and Budget had failed to receive an answer on why the military assistance was being withheld.
Two officials who worked in the White House Office of Management and Budget resigned after expressing concern over President Donald Trump’s decision to temporarily withhold military aid from Ukraine while urging the country to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son.
One of the OMB officials who resigned in September expressed “some frustrations about not understanding the reason for the hold,” Sandy told the committee, according to the transcript.Asked whether the “OMB Legal” employee resigned in part over concerns with Ukraine’s aid, Sandy replied, “Yes, in terms of how ― yes, in terms of that process, in part.”
Sandy also testified that two officials resigned from OMB over the hold on the military aid for Ukraine, saying one expressed frustrations, the other thought it might be a violation of the Impoundment Control Act. pic.twitter.com/Adi7NoM4Z6The two employees left the OMB after Sandy and his other colleagues repeatedly asked the White House for more information on why the funds to Ukraine were being delayed without being given a clear response, according to the transcript.
