Secy. of State Mike Pompeo and other State Department leaders were silent when faced with a campaign from Rudy Giuliani to oust then-US Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch amid concerns that President Trump would undermine them, according to testimony
Transcripts of Yovanovitch and McKinley's closed-door depositions, which were released Monday by the committees leading the impeachment inquiry into Trump and Ukraine, show that McKinley cited Yovanovitch's removal and the use of ambassadors"to advance domestic political objectives" as reasons for his resignation last month.
"You're going to think that I'm incredibly naive, but I couldn't imagine all of the things that have happened over the last 5 or 7 months, I just couldn't imagine it," she told lawmakers.After there were stories written about her, Yovanovitch said she reached out to Sondland for advice, and he suggested she needed"to go big or go home" to respond, proposing that she put out a tweet stating her support for the President.
