JUST IN: Top budget official says two colleagues quit after expressing frustration about frozen Ukraine aid, according to new closed-door transcripts released Tuesday.
Sandy was asked specifically whether he knew this was a reason the legal office OMB staffer left.
Sandy said that the"best way to characterize" the legal office staffer’s concern"would be a dissenting opinion vis-a-vis the Impoundment Control Act," which is a law passed under President Richard Nixon to set restrictions on a president deferring Congressionally-allocated spending funds. Trump and his Republican allies in Congress, however, have defended the president by arguing that he acted within his power to withhold military aid to Ukraine because he was concerned about the corruption in the country.This is the first instance a witness has testified that someone within the budget office resigned over frustrations regarding the release of the aid.
