'Look, the president communicates in ways that sometimes I wouldn't,' Chris Stewart said.
Trump attacked Yovanovitch as she testified in the second-ever public Trump impeachment hearings on Friday."Everywhere Marie Yovanovitch went turned bad. She started off in Somalia, how did that go?" the president tweeted as the former ambassador explained her removal to lawmakers. After the hearing, Yovanovitch told top Democrat Adam Schiff that Trump's remarks were"intimidating.
During the same segment, Republican Congressman Chris Stewart downplayed the president's attacks on Yovanovitch and called allegations of"witness tampering" against Trump"nonsense." "Of course, presidents appoint ambassadors, but people don't insult people, especially when they're giving testimony before the Congress of the United States," she said."I think even his most ardent supporters have to honestly admit this is the wrong thing for the president to do."
Despite her condemnation, Pelosi declined to make a determination as to whether Trump's tweet amounted to witness intimidation."I haven't had a lot of time to pay attention to the president's tweets and the legal implications of them," she said."I just think that was totally wrong and inappropriate and typical of the president."
