Where is John Marshall when we need him.  A simple Writ of Mandamus would have solved the problem.

Explosive New Emails Add To Pile Of Evidence That Trump Personally Ordered Ukraine Aid Freeze | Talking Points Memo
Newly leaked emails from the Pentagon add to the pile of evidence showing that President Donald Trump himself ordered a freeze on U.S. money destined to Ukraine, which officials have testified was part of an effort to pressure Ukraine to do Trump’s political bidding.
The emails, which were leaked to Just Security, show communications between the Pentagon and the White House Office Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
For example, after a key meeting between the Defense Secretary and Trump on Aug. 29, a day after the aid freeze had become public, OMB political staffer Mike Duffey emailed the Pentagon.
“Clear direction from POTUS to hold,” he said.
