In an interview with Face the Nation, Pelosi called out Trump for his attacks on Yovanovitch, saying, 'He knows he made a mistake.'
host Margaret Brennan asked Pelosi about Trump's tweets attacking Yovanovitch while she was giving her testimony at the hearing. Trump began his tweet with:"Everywhere Marie Yovanovitch turned went bad."
Brennan pointed out that the White House stated that Trump wasn't seeking to intimidate Yovanovitch, just voice his opinion. Pelosi answered:"The words of the president weigh a ton. They are very significant, and he should not frivolously throw out insults. But that's what he does." During Yovanovitch's testimony House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff, who is leading the impeachment inquiry, accused Trump's tweets of attempting to intimidate the witness. Yovanovitch said in her testimony that remarks Trump made about her during his phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy sounded threatening."I was shocked and devastated that I would feature in a phone call between two heads of state in such a manner,"Yovanovitch said in her testimony.
