President Donald Trump ordered the removal of Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch from her post in Ukraine following complaints by his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani and others, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.
Yovanovitch, who was recalled months earlier than expected in May 2019, was accused by Giuliani without evidence of trying to undermine the President and blocking efforts to investigate Democrats like former Vice President Joe Biden. According to the Wall Street Journal, a person familiar with the matter said that State Department officials were told that her removal was "a priority" for Trump.
At the time of her removal, the State Department said that Yovanovitch was "concluding her three-year diplomatic assignment in Kyiv in 2019 as planned" and that her departure aligned with the presidential transition in Ukraine.
Giuliani told the Wall Street Journal that he had reminded the President "of complaints percolating among Trump supporters that she had displayed an anti-Trump bias in private conversations." Giuliani told the paper that when he mentioned Yovanovitch to Trump in the spring, the President "remembered he had a problem with her earlier and thought she had been dismissed" and was then asked to provide a list of his allegations about the career diplomat again.
Asked on Thursday morning why Yovanovitch was recalled, Trump said, "I don't know if I recalled her or somebody recalled her, but I heard very, very bad things about her for a very long period of time — not good."

I took a nap for an hour and a half and I wake up and it’s another year’s worth of scandal. 90 frckg minutes. That seems to be the going rate over the past several days.
2006glg more like years. Even if i tried i couldnt write down all the career ending scandals in the last month.
Seems like good times, 374 years ago, when trump was sworn in.
Nickleback said “ Nope, not today Donald “
Better find some other photographs…Lol
Help. I am trapped in an episode of black mirror, I repeat sos, I need to go back to my own reality.
LMAO, I tell my wife something similar almost every day. We sit down after work and watch the news, and it’s like “wtf? I can’t believe this is real life” LOL
Tasha Vladimiroff, if you think about it they even tell us all about the place they are turning America into. They tell us about an ALTERNATIVE REALITY where the TRUTH is NOT the TRUTH and WHAT we SEE is NOT REALLY HAPPENING.
I am old school and have given up my Cable to save money but will have to check out the Black Mirror show. For me, this is like being stuck in an episode of “The TWILIGHT ZONE.” What Pence is doing behind closed doors to turn our country into the next MIDDLE EASE with what amounts to SHARIA LAW however as led to some NIGHTMARES, nightmares that WILL COME TRUE unless we get the Republicans OUT of power.

John Roberts, Dale made a comment and you became quite triggered., are things ok John?
@Brendo Xd Dale made a stupid post, which I pointed out.
John Roberts, you pointed it out! You didn’t point anything out other than abuse someone for having a different view than you have. Do you do that only in the safety of your own home John? Would you say something like that to my face because I had a different opinion than you?
@Brendo Xd if you were wrong, as you are, yes, I would.
It’s like we’re living in Gotham with all this corruption ..where’s Batman to save us ⁉️

What if they impeach him over the meme. That would be funny.
Pence has definitely been to a few gloryholes.
@Dale Zegarelli take a bullet
@Dale Zegarelli and where did you get your info on holes?
@ghetso girl I don’t need information. The proof is in the pudding. Tax reform, low unemployment, businesses returning to america, safe boarder patrol, fair trade deals with mexico, canada, china, Japan and Europe. Restoring foreign relations with israel, middle east, Asia nations, Mexico and Canada. Reinforcing our military. Holding rallies on regular basis to inform the people. Removed restrictions on businesses. List goes on and on. Please tell me why he should be impeached….IM WAITING.
@jason watling what a terrible thing to say. Just another liberal Democrat reasoning. Your very judgemental. You are guilty of the things you claim others to be. I am reporting your contemptuous remark.
How did it taste Chris , did he make your mustache crusty
Reeks of cover-up ☺️
Cover up? He’s doing his scum bag sleaze in public
Bunch of children snitching on each other lmfao
@Hunter Adcock You fit all that propaganda in your mouth like a pro 😉😚
us voter demographic has a lot of anxious adult-children
@ Hollow Pipes – that is not for the President’s perso al lawyer to investigate. That is why you have the DoJ and State Department, impartial institutions to do that. If Biden is innocent imagine how he feels having the President use his podium to smear his name. A foreign country can also dabricate a crime in order to gain favor. If he is guilty, involving Rudi compromises the case as Biden can then claim it was done for political reasons.
Children have more morales than these fools.
I feel like right after this breaking news there’s is going to be more breaking breaking news……😊🤣🤪
@truerealityscott Are you nutz? Did you fall from Mars?

@Brendo Xd I didn’t read past the 1st 3 lines of BS. You are a truely dellusional Trump💩terd. Good luck with that. Enjoy the impeachment and the Kool-Aid.
It’s hilarious and sad that the Sociopath Dotard still has people defending his criminal behavior.

@Arch Stanton …for Biden. The Independents have spoken. Now he will get the empathy vote as well. Thanx Trump.
@Arch Stanton you failed.
Hey Donald, ever hear the saying “loose lips sink ships”?
“Sure, Xi. I can end the trade war. I’d like you to do me a favour, though…”
Good one, Mats!!! Cheerio! Hälsningar!
Exactly!
He wouldn’t end the trade war. He hasn’t offered any quid pro quo. This is a hoax story. He media was talking about Biden’s shady business 6 months ago so the media and dems attempting to paint it against an attack on opposition candidate rather than investigating the previous admin and one opposition candidates son.
Hell Biden isn’t even the opposition yet he is just one of like 10. He is only the front runner because of fake polls. No chance he has as much support as Warren or Bernie.
@LadyHotdogOfTheBun That didn’t happen. Never strong armed Ukraine.
Did you just read the transcript or still going off of schiffs fake dialogue?

-“That was the most innocent phonecall I have read”
Sure, McConnel isn’t known to exactly hold the President accountable. But if “the most”, “the best”, “the most perfect”, “the most covfefe” etc. is in a sentence from the President I’m quite sure he made it up or put his own words on it.
Wonderful to see the GOP double standard stare you in the face with the Vice President saying “The American people deserve to know if the Bidens profited on their positions…”, something that Ukraine has already said they found no evidence of. But when concerns about all of Trumps’ assets and him, and his family, making money out of the Presidency Pence is remarkably quiet. Even though US courts have already said there is enough there to allow cases regarding the matter to proceed. But that is the GOP for you. One set of standards and rules for your opponents, another for your own party. Just look at Graham’s old speech on the Clinton impeachment and how he said nothing criminal has to have happened, but it was about cleansing the office, moral etc.
Now Graham, who even himself before Trump became President was very hard on Trump, accepts any kind of questionable moral behavior, dances around issues to find any kind of excuse for why anything the President does or says is ok. Quite a turnaround…. but then again… He has a re-election campaign coming up. Fixed term-limits would probably be a good idea. With a ban on working as a lobbyist after.
“Something that Ukraine already said they found no evidence of”
I thought a lack of evidence didn’t matter when it comes to things like this. Trump colluded with Russia despite any evidence and we all know that’s something to be taken seriously. Come on let’s see a single standard man.
Seriously this is just a political show man. Nothing more than slaps on the wrist are gonna happen. Career politicians have been doing stuff like this long before Trump did it, it’s nothing new and like before, nothing is gonna happen (and if something does happen that’ll be the real double standard, as in only career politicians can do it and private citizens in office cannot). Seriously, Just grab the popcorn and enjoy the same partisan crap we’ve been fed forever.
@cokedrinker941 exactly the double standards the hypocrisy is sickening this 24/7 news cycle is sickening the popcorn is stale in the drinks going flat
When you play with the devil Pence you get burnt.
Chris “Fredo” Cuomo is SMART not DUMB.
