WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday, seizing on a report from a nonpartisan congressional watchdog, accused the Trump administration of breaking the law in withholding aid for Ukraine that Congress had approved.

"The OMB, the White House, the administration broke - I'm saying this - broke the law," Pelosi told reporters. "This reinforces, again, the need for documents and eyewitnesses in the Senate," which will be holding an impeachment trial of President Donald Trump.
