The former U.S. envoy to Ukraine told the House impeachment inquiry that she felt intimidated by Donald Trump’s attacks on her work, only to have the president launch a fresh broadside against her as she testified in a public hearing.
The career diplomat, Marie Yovanovitch, succinctly and passionately described her role advancing U.S. interests in some of the most dangerous countries in the world until a smear campaign led by Rudy Giuliani and other Republicans led to her being recalled. She received a standing ovation from the audience in the hearing room as she left on Friday, after about six hours of questioning.
