Another highly inconvenient fact to introduce into the president’s defense by his own lawyer
Rudy Giuliani, ace attorney. Photo: Saul Loeb/AFP/Getty Images The whistle-blower complaint at the heart of the Ukraine scandal alleges that the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, was fired because Rudy Giuliani and his allies had attacked her as hostile to President Trump and his goal of ginning up an investigation of Joe Biden. But the report had to connect some dots. It had no direct evidence that Trump had fired her over the Biden investigation.
So Giuliani’s account heavily suggests that Trump decided to fire Yovanovitch because she was standing in the way of their plan to pressure Ukraine to go after Biden. It is at minimum a highly inconvenient fact to introduce into the president’s defense. And it comes from his own lawyer! Meanwhile, ABC News has obtained a text exchange from earlier this year, in which Bill Taylor, an American diplomat to Ukraine, wrote, “I think it’s crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign.” In response, Gordon Sondland, the United States ambassador to the European Union and a Trump megadonor and presumed loyalist, called the charge “incorrect” and immediately suggested the discussion be taken offline.
