A court filing late Friday night revealed the Justice Department has two dozen emails related to President Trump's involvement in freezing military aid to Ukraine, CNN reports.

The Trump administration is reportedly still blocking their content from the public and has kept them away from Congress, but the court filing is the first time the administration has publicly acknowledged the emails' existence.
