    The White House Budget Office released a memo Wednesday explaining that the delay of military aid to Ukraine was not political, but due to an examination of whether it complied with U.S. policy.


    “For decades, OMB has routinely used its apportionment authority to prevent funds from being used,” OMB general counsel Mark Paoletta wrote in a memo responding to a Government Accountability Office request about why the aid was delayed, reports The Washington Post.

    “Often, in managing appropriations, OMB must briefly pause an agency’s legal ability to spend those funds for a number of reasons, including to ensure that the funds are being spent efficiently, that they are being spent in accordance with statutory directives, or to assess how or whether funds should be used for a particular activity.”
