Trump attacks Yovanovitch on Twitter during her impeachment testimony, and Yovanovitch responds in real-time by realchriswilson
“Everywhere Marie Yovanovitch went turned bad,” wrote Trump. “She started off in Somalia, how did that go? Then fast forward to Ukraine, where the new Ukrainian President spoke unfavorably about her in my second phone call with him. It is a U.S. President’s absolute right to appoint ambassadors.”
“I don’t think I have such powers, not in Mogadishu, Somalia, and not in other places. I actually think that where I’ve served over the years, I and others have demonstrably made things better for the U.S. as well as for the countries that I’ve served in. Yovanovitch was appointed to serve as ambassador to Kyrgyzstan and then Armenia by President George W. Bush and as ambassador to Ukraine by President Barack Obama before she was removed from the position by Trump earlier this year. She was recalled after being smeared by Trump allies including his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, his son Donald Trump Jr. and Fox News host Sean Hannity.
“We saw witness intimidation in real time by the president of the United States,” Schiff told reporters during a hearing recess. “Once again going after this dedicated, respected, career public servant in an effort not only to chill her but to chill others who may come forward. We take this kind of witness intimidation and obstruction of inquiry very seriously.”
