OMB Staffer Says Two Others Resigned Over "Quid Pro Quo" Concerns

Mark Sandy, a national security programs staffer at the Office of Management and Budget, testified this month that two other unnamed staffers resigned over concerns about President Trump's alleged misconduct in withholding aid from Ukraine, saying at least one was frustrated with a lack of clarity on why the aid was withheld. The story was covered prominently by many left and center-rated outlets, whose coverage focused on the resignations and quid pro quo allegations. Fewer right-rated outlets covered Sandy's testimony; the NR story was the only right-rated coverage to mention the resignations, while other right-leaning voices framed Sandy's testimony as supportive of claims that Trump had viable reason for withholding the aid.
