Marie Yovanovitch, the former ambassador to Ukraine, is set to tell the public how she became collateral damage of Trump’s quest to bend Ukrainian officials to his will
When President Donald Trump dispatched his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani to pressure Ukraine to investigate his political enemies, Marie Yovanovitch stood in the way.
Democrats are seeking to portray Yovanovitch as a victim of Trump and Giuliani’s effort, which she said ran counter to the anti-corruption efforts she and the rest of the State Department were advocating.behind closed doors last month that she felt threatened by Trump — in particular, after she learned that he told Zelensky on the call that she was “going to go through some things.”
Republicans have defended Trump’s decision to recall Yovanovitch to Washington, asserting that ambassadors and other appointees serve at the pleasure of the president. Some Trump allies have harangued her as an “Obama holdover” who was resistant to the new administration’s abrupt foreign policy shift.
