State Department official knew Trump attorney, Rudy Giuliani, was involved in campaign against ambassador
WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump’s nominee to be U.S. ambassador to Russia said on Wednesday he had known Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, was involved in a campaign against then-Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch that helped lead to her dismissal.
Yovanovitch was abruptly recalled in May after Trump allies leveled unsubstantiated charges of disloyalty and other allegations against her. The veteran diplomat is expected to be easily confirmed, but his hearing was largely about Ukraine, not Russia, as Democrats took advantage of a rare chance to question an administration official publicly about the events that helped lead to an impeachment investigation of the Republican president.
