The White House sought to freeze aid to Ukraine just 91 minutes after President Trump spoke to President Volodymyr Zelensky by phone in July, a newly-released government email has revealed.
In the call, Mr Trump asked the Ukrainian leader to investigate his political rival, Democrat Joe Biden.
Democrats say it shows Mr Trump used the office for personal political gain.
The fateful phone call is key to the abuse of power charge on which Mr Trump has been impeached.
A US whistleblower who heard about the conversation raised concerns, which ultimately triggered the impeachment inquiry.
What does it take to impeach a president?
Trump impeachment: A very simple guide
How Ukraine story unfolded
Mr Trump was formally impeached by the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives on Wednesday, but is unlikely to be removed from office as the case will go to trial in the US Senate, where his Republican party has a majority.
What's in the email?
The newly-released email was obtained by the Center for Public Integrity following a court order in a freedom of information case.
It shows that a senior White House official, Mike Duffey, contacted senior defence officials about withholding Ukraine's aid just over an hour-and-a-half after Mr Trump ended a 25 July call with President Zelensky.
A rough transcript of that call was declassified by the White House following a whistleblower complaint it was being covered-up.
The transcript shows Mr Trump asked Mr Zelensky to "do us a favour" and investigate Joe Biden, currently a frontrunner to be the Democratic candidate in the 2020 White House race, and his son Hunter Biden, who had previously worked for a Ukrainian energy company.
In the email Mr Duffey asks that the Department of Defense "hold off" on providing aid following the administration's plan to review.
"Given the sensitive nature of the request, I appreciate your keeping that information closely held to those who need to know to execute direction," the email reads.
What has the reaction been?
Rachel Semmel, a spokeswoman for the Office of Management and Budget, dismissed the characterisation of the email in a statement to US media on Sunday.
"It's reckless to tie the hold of funds to the phone call. As has been established and publicly reported, the hold was announced in an interagency meeting on July 18," CNN quoted her as saying.
"To pull a line out of one email and fail to address the context is misleading and inaccurate."
Meanwhile the top Democrat in the US Senate, Chuck Schumer, said the email proved the need for new witnesses and evidence at President Trump's impeachment trial.
"If there was ever an argument that we need Mr Duffey to come and testify, this is that information. This email is explosive," Mr Schumer said.
"A top administration official, one that we requested, is saying, stop the aid 90 minutes after Trump called Zelensky and said keep it hush, hush. What more do you need to request a witness?"
A US state divided by impeachment
How will Senate trial work?
"Until we hear from the witnesses, until we get the documents, the American people will correctly assume that those blocking their testimony were aiding and abetting a cover up, plain and simple," Mr Schumer added.
"So I'll close by saying this: President Trump, release the emails, let the witnesses testify, what are you afraid of?"
What happens next with impeachment?
The start date of the trial is in doubt, as partisan wrangling between the parties continues.
Mitch McConnell, the Republican majority leader who will determine the terms of the trial, wants the case to be considered without testimony.
But Democrats say new witnesses should be heard in the Senate, including at least four current and former White House aides with knowledge of the Ukraine affair.
They want Mr McConnell to clarify whose testimony will be allowed.
Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic Speaker of the House, has postponed sending the impeachment charges to the Senate until the rules of the Senate trial are acceptable to her party.
Mr Trump tweeted on Sunday that the Democrats' case in the "impeachment hoax" was "dead" and called Ms Pelosi "crazy Nancy".
Republicans currently hold 53 seats in the 100-seat chamber, making a conviction - which requires a two-thirds vote - extremely unlikely.

Globally, nearly half of under-5 child deaths every year are attributed to undernutrition, which weakens the body’s resistance to illness.
If a woman is malnourished during pregnancy or if her child is malnourished in the first 1000 days of life, the child’s physical and mental growth and development will be slowed. This cannot be corrected when the child is older – it will affect the child for the rest of his or her life.
Undernutrition develops when the body does not get the proper amount of energy (calories), proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients required to keep the organs and tissues healthy and functioning well. A child or adult can be malnourished by being undernourished or overnourished.
What every family and community has a right to know about nutrition:
1. A young child should grow and gain weight rapidly. From birth, children should be weighed regularly to assess growth. If regular weighing shows that the child is not gaining weight, or the parents or other caregivers see the child is not growing, something is wrong. The child needs to be seen by a trained health worker.
2. Breastmilk alone is the only food and drink an infant needs in the first six months of life. After six months, a baby needs a variety of other foods in addition to breastmilk to ensure healthy growth and development.
3. From the age of 6 months, due to increasing energy needs, a child needs to eat two to three times per day, from 9-23 months, three to four times per day – in addition to breastfeeding. Depending on the child’s appetite, one or two nutritious snacks, such as fruit or bread with nut paste, may be needed between meals. The baby should be fed small amounts of food that steadily increase in variety and quantity as he or she grows.
4. Feeding times are periods of learning, love and interaction, which promote physical, social and emotional growth and development. The parent or other caregiver should talk to children during feeding, and treat and feed girls and boys equally and patiently.
5. Infants and young children need extra vitamin A to help resist illness, protect their eyesight and help them grow. Vitamin A can be found in many fruits and vegetables, red palm oil, eggs, dairy products, liver, fish, meat, fortified foods and breastmilk. In areas where vitamin A deficiency is common, high-dose vitamin A supplements can also be given every four to six months to children aged 6 months to 5 years.
6. Children need iron-rich foods to protect their physical and mental abilities and to prevent anaemia. The best sources of iron are animal sources, such as liver, lean meats and fish. Other good sources are iron-fortified foods and iron supplements.
7. Iodine in a pregnant woman’s and young child’s diet is especially critical for the development of the child’s brain. It is essential to help prevent learning disabilities and delayed development. Using iodized salt instead of ordinary salt provides pregnant women and their children with as much iodine as they need.
8. As the child’s intake of food and drink increases, the risk of diarrhoea substantially increases. Food contamination is a major cause of diarrhoea and other illnesses that cause children to lose nutrients and energy needed for growth and development. Good hygiene, safe water and proper food handling, preparation and storing are crucial to prevent illnesses.
9. During an illness, children need additional fluids and encouragement to eat regular meals, and breastfeeding infants need to breastfeed more often. After an illness, children need to be offered more food than usual to replenish the energy and nourishment lost due to the illness.
10. Very thin and/or swollen children need special medical care. They should be taken to a trained health worker or health facility for assessment and treatments.
