Marie Yovanovitch, the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, told House impeachment investigators today that she was abruptly forced out of her role in May at the direction of Trump
Marie Yovanovitch, the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, told House impeachment investigators on Friday that she was abruptly forced out of her role in May at the direction of President Donald Trump.obtained by POLITICO, Yovanovitch said Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan told her that there was “a concerted campaign against me” — one based on “unfounded and false claims by people with clearly questionable motives.
Her appearance is a breakthrough for House Democrats seeking firsthand details about Trump's efforts — both directly and through his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani — to pressure Ukraine's leaders to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, a potential 2020 rival. She also said U.S. interests are “harmed” when “private interests circumvent professional diplomats for their own gain, not the public good.” It appeared to be a reference to Giuliani’s efforts to leverage government officials to dig up dirt on Biden.
