12:59Now PlayingTrump's first impeachment - 2020
Laura Cooper, deputy assistant secretary of defense for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia, told House lawmakers on Nov. 20 that she became aware of a hold on U.S. military aid to Ukraine in July. "In a series of interagency meetings, I heard that the president had directed the Office of Management and Budget to hold the funds because of his concerns about corruption in Ukraine," she said, adding, "let me say at the outset that I have never discussed this, or any other matter, with the president and never heard directly from him about this matter." Cooper testified on Nov. 20, in a public hearing as part of the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump. The impeachment inquiry has focused on a July 25 phone call in which Trump asked the president of Ukraine to investigate former vice president and 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter.
