Ummmm.... You do know that Trump can't legally stop aide due to 'concerns of corruption' yes? That's illegal. Only congress can stop that money.
This post is so wrong it's laughable!
The President can withhold foreign aid for any reason he wants to withhold it.
Please stop posting nonsense.
Or post the law that backs your silly claim.

There ya go.
Strange...
What you provided actually states the President can delay foreign aid.
Got another one?
Nope.
We already know.
I was only being nice, offering you another opportunity to pull your first foot from your mouth.
(b) Consistency with legislative policy
Deferrals shall be permissible only—
(1) to provide for contingencies;
(2) to achieve savings made possible by or through changes in requirements or greater efficiency of operations; or
(3) as specifically provided by law.
No officer or employee of the United States may defer any budget authority for any other purpose.
He (or his administration) failed to report the defferrment to congress in the required time.
Wrong.
I already provided the relevant section regarding reporting.
From the Impoundment Control Act, we find two Executive Directives, one by Nixon, the other by Reagan:
"Codification
Section was formerly classified to section 1404 of Title 31 prior to the general revision and enactment of Title 31, Money and Finance, by Pub. L. 97–258, §1, Sept. 13, 1982, 96 Stat. 877.
Ex. Ord. No. 11845. Delegation of Certain Reporting Functions to Director of Office of Management and Budget
Ex. Ord. No. 11845, Mar. 24, 1975, 40 F.R. 13299, as amended by Ex. Ord. No. 12608, Sept. 9, 1987, 52 F.R. 34617, provided:
By virtue of the authority vested in me by the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (Public Law 93–344; 88 Stat. 332, (2 U.S.C. 681 et seq.), hereinafter referred to as the Act) [subchapters I and II of this chapter], and section 301 of title 3 of the United States Code, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget is hereby designated and empowered to exercise, as of October 1, 1974 without ratification or other action of the President (1) the functions required by sections 1014(b) and 1014(d) of the Act [subsecs. (b) and (d) of this section] of transmitting to the Comptroller General of the United States and to the Office of the Federal Register copies of special messages transmitted pursuant to section 1012 or 1013 (2 U.S.C. 683 and 684) of the Act; and (2) the function conferred upon the President by section 1014(e) of the Act (2 U.S.C. 685(e)) of submitting to the Congress cumulative reports of proposed rescissions, reservations, and deferrals of budget authority."
Everyone here can see they were codified into law.
Everyone can see who was granted the authority and the responsibility for reporting.
Blah, blah, and blah.
I believe there are 65 million US Citizens who are interested if Joe Biden has engaged in corrupt practices in the Ukraine and other foreign countries.
Therefore, US Interests and the president's interest jive.
Oh? Why? Isn't the point for America to win, not "abide by other nation's laws". But even so, couple of problems with this line of thinking.
1. Why now? The crime is years old. Is it because its political?
2. Since Joe Biden has nothing to do with the military aide, it makes no sense to hold it until they investigate.
3. Joe Biden has already been cleared of any wrongdoings by Ukraine.
4. Why not start the investigation in America? Why didn't Trump ask his own justice department to investigate?
Also: You know Trump is a criminal in Iran, right? That matters to the 65 million Americans too, yes?
Trump is likely a criminal for a lot of other reasons and in a lot of other countries.
What counts is actually naming those crimes.
Got one?
I will write the House managers myself.
Otherwise, just grab a tissue.
