Marie Yovanovitch, the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine who was ousted earlier this year, called for an investigation Tuesday just hours after Democrats released new evidence in President Donald Trump’s impeachment case that details Rudy Giuliani’s push to remove Yovanovitch from her post.
Parnas received messages from Robert F. Hyde in March 2019 that contained details about Yovanovitch’s location in Ukraine from people who appeared to be tailing her in Kyiv. Those messages came in response to articles, tweets and videos accusing Yovanovitch of being disloyal to Trump ― which Yovanovitch has denied and said was part of a smear campaign by Giuliani, Trump’s personal lawyer.
Yovanovitch was removed in May as ambassador after Republicans complained she was undermining efforts to pressure Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, one of Trump’s political rivals in the 2020 presidential election. She testified in the House’s impeachment inquiry that the president was politically motivated to pressure the State Department to remove her because she was an obstacle for Trump and his allies to carry out shadow diplomacy in Ukraine.
