The federal judge issued a preliminary injunction ordering them to comply with a records request relating to the president's freeze on military aid to Ukraine.
A federal judge on Monday ordered the Pentagon and the White House Office of Management and Budget to release documents related to the delay in military aid to Ukraine.
The judge ordered the agencies to release half of the 211 pages of documents by Dec. 12 and the rest by Dec. 20. The records include communications between the Defense Department, the department’s comptroller and the OMB regarding the Pentagon’s Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative . The request for the records came from the Center for Public Integrity.
“Currently, the United States House of Representatives is in the process of conducting impeachment proceedings concerning the same subject matter as the documents requested by Plaintiff,” Kollar-Kotelly wrote in her order. “As such, the requested documents are sought in order to inform the public on a matter of extreme national concern. Only an informed electorate can develop its opinions and persuasively petition its elected officials to act in ways which further the aims of those opinions.
