Marie Yovanovitch was asked to respond to Trump's tweets while the hearing was happening. 'It is very intimidating,' she said.
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump ridiculed on Twitter the former US Ambassador to Ukraine while she was testifying in his impeachment hearing, an experience she said was"very intimidating" when asked about it on live television.
Marie Yovanovitch was describing details of a smear campaign against her when House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff interjected to say that Trump was live-tweeting criticism of her testimony on Twitter. “Ms Yovanovitch as we sit here testifying, the president is attacking you on Twitter,” Schiff said. He then read part of the tweet.Everywhere Marie Yovanovitch went turned bad. 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.
