“Days before the July 2019 call between President Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart, U.S. officials were still working to expedite the delivery of Javelin anti-tank missiles to the country,” according to emails reviewed by CNN.
“The new information underscores how the July 18th decision to hold the military aid stunned officials, who had already assessed Ukraine deserved to receive it and were preparing a Javelin missile order as well. The decision reverberated across the government for weeks. Officials grew so concerned over the deferrals by the Office of Management and Budget that they noted the aid was at ‘serious risk,’ and questioned if the move was illegal.”
