(CNN) The Trump administration is withholding 20 emails pertaining to frozen Ukraine military aid between a top aide to President Donald Trump's acting chief of staff and an official at the White House Office of Management and Budget, the New York Times reported Friday. The withholding of the emails highlights how extensively the administration has refused to disclose to the public or to Congress information about Ukraine that led to the President's impeachment, and the standoff over public records could result in a judge's intervention. In mid-December, OMB agreed to produce public records the Times had requested after the paper sued for the documents. And public records of what they discussed are scant. Many public records requests related to Ukraine and impeachment, including dozens from CNN, have yet to see final responses from agencies.
