According to an exclusive report from Just Security, a newly uncovered batch of unredacted emails shows the White House Office of Management and Budget lied to investigators about the Trump administration's dealings with Ukraine.
The emails “confirm that OMB, including the general counsel’s office, was fully in the loop about the Pentagon’s concerns and took active steps to bury them,” reported Just Security’s Kate Brannen.
As the news circulated, Twitter users saw the revelations as proof that President Trump's acquittal in the Senate was premature at best.
