US President Trump blasts ex-envoy to Ukraine in 'intimidating' attack midway through her testimony to Congress
Marie Yovanovitch testifies in the second public hearing even as US president launches Twitter attack on her during the testimony, dubbed"witness intimidation" by Democrats.
The investigation focuses on whether Trump's push for Ukrainian officials to investigate his political rivals amounted to an abuse of power, a charge he and Republicans vigorously deny. Democrats said an allegation of witness intimidation could become an obstruction of justice charge in the impeachment probe.
She denied allegations against her, including that she favoured Democrat Hillary Clinton over Trump in the 2016 election, and she rejected the notion that Ukraine tried to interfere in the election, as Trump claims, counter to mainstream US intelligence findings that it was Russia.The top Republican on the panel, Republican Devin Nunes of California, bemoaned the hearings as a "daylong TV spectacle.
Just as the hearing was opening, the White House released its rough transcript of a still-earlier Trump call with Zelenskiy that was largely congratulatory.
