- First hearings.'Impeachment ': accuse Donald Trump of creating a parallel diplomacy to be re-elected
Former US ambassador to Kiev Marie Yovanovitch said today that Washington's policy regarding Ukraine is "chaos" due to the actions of President Donald Trump and charged against the "degradation" of the State Department.
Asked about Trump's attacks on social networks, Yovanovitch has said those attacks are "very intimidating." After reading Trump's tweets attacking his reputation, he said: "I can't talk about what the president is trying to do, but I think the effect is intimidating . "
While Yovanovitch was testifying in the impeachment process against Trump, the US president has said about the former diplomat that "everywhere, Marie Yovanovitch became bad," and noted that "it is an absolute right of the president of the United States. appoint ambassadors. "
In addition, he pointed out that Donald Trump's attacks are "very intimidating."
"Our policy in Ukraine has become a chaos and dark interests in the world have learned what little it takes to eliminate an American ambassador who does not offer what they want," Yovanovitch said during the second public hearing in the investigation of the Lower House to open a political trial of Trump.
Yovanovitch, who led the US embassy in Kiev between 2016 and last May, drew attention to the "degradation" of US diplomatic services "in recent years . "
He stressed, in particular, "the failure of leaders in the State Department to respond as foreign and corrupt interests apparently kidnapped politics in Ukraine."
The US press revealed in October that Trump ordered Yovanovitch's withdrawal last spring after months of complaints from his collaborators outside the Government, such as his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani.
Yovanovitch appears after Wednesday's hearing, in which Bill Taylor, the interim US ambassador to Ukraine, and George Kent, an assistant deputy secretary of state responsible for policy towards the European country, testified before the watchful eye of public opinion and with the live broadcast on television.
This is the first week of appearances on the possible opening of a political trial to a US president. in two decades, since Bill Clinton (1993-2001) had to answer about his relationship with White House Fellow Monica Lewinsky, a process from which he was acquitted.
Several witnesses in the investigation of the Lower House to submit a political trial to Trump have assured that the White House conditioned the delivery of 400 million dollars in military aid to Ukraine to that country promised to investigate the former vice president and current candidate for The presidential Democratic nomination for 2020, Joe Biden, something the president denies.
