Yovanovitch was the third witness to testify about the Ukraine controversy to Congress this week as part of the impeachment probe against Trump.
Former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch testified for hours on Friday about being removed from her post and attacks on her from President Donald Trump as part of the House Democrats' ongoing impeachment inquiry.
Yovanovitch also testified on Friday that she had ever seen any president remove an ambassador"without cause, based on allegations that the State Department knew to be false" during her decades-long career in the federal government. During his July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, Trump said Yovanovitch was"bad news" and would be"going through some things." Yovanovitch told lawmakers on Friday that his remarks"sounded like a threat" and prompted a physical reaction when she found out about them.
She added that the attacks on U.S. officials from the president and his allies are"leading to a crisis in the State Department, as the policy process is visibly unraveling, leadership vacancies go unfilled, and senior and midlevel officers ponder an uncertain future and head for the doors."
