As per the U.S. Government Accountability Office:

"Faithful execution of the law does not permit the president to substitute his own policy priorities for those that Congress has enacted into law. OMB withheld funds for a policy reason, which is not permitted under the Impoundment Control Act (ICA). The withholding was not a programmatic delay. Therefore, we conclude that OMB violated the ICA."

The House of Representatives Impeached Trump for both Abuse of Power, and Obstruction of Congress. He is clearly guilty on both counts. But, the above statement from the U.S. GAO clearly identifies one of the specific laws he broke.
