At 11:58 p.m. on Jan. 21, minutes before the deadline, the OMG released Ukraine-related documents, including records that have not been produced to Congress in its impeachment investigation.

No matter how much the administration stonewalls, new evidence in the Ukraine investigation continues to emerge.

This timeline is troubling.

The administration agreed to search for and release multiple categories of Ukraine-related records to American Oversight, prioritizing any records of Rick Perry’s communications with high-level Ukrainian officials and associates of Rudy Giuliani.

Late on Friday night, the State Department released 71 pages of Ukraine-related records to American Oversight, including text messages of Kurt Volker, the former special envoy to Ukraine, and his calendars.

A lot has happened during the first week of 2020 — including the release of new Ukraine-related documents.

Documents obtained by American Oversight shed light on congressional attempts last summer to get clear answers from the administration on its perceived legal authority to use military force against Iran.

The State Department released 42 pages of records in response to American Oversight’s FOIA lawsuit for a range of documents related to the Trump administration’s dealings with Ukraine.

FOIA has become the only vehicle to force the release of Ukraine records. But documents exposed last week show that the administration still has plenty of opportunities to obstruct.
