Bringing CNN as your weapon to a debate reminds me of the joke about bringing a knife to a gunfight.

Okay I get your point so here's some state news. They said the same thing as CNN. Which is that the ministration broke the law. Seems your argument really doesn't change the outcome.

SSG Matthew Adkins - Many will claim Trump has a right to delay or stop the funds. Irony is he signed off on the budget and the appropriations to Ukraine. If he was up and up, he would have been open about the delay and potentially eliminating the funding.
