2:53Now PlayingDefense Department official Laura Cooper says she became aware in July that a hold was being placed on military aid to Ukraine and it had been directed by President Donald Trump.
Cooper is the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Russia and Ukraine.
She was testifying Wednesday before a House committee in the impeachment inquiry into Trump.
Cooper said she never spoke to the president about the hold, but she heard the hold was placed because of his concerns over corruption in Ukraine.
She said the funds were critical to supporting Ukraine.
She told the inquiry she was under the impression that the money was legally required to be obligated by Sept. 30, the end of the fiscal year, and she fought to get it done.
