3 things to watch for in Friday's Trump impeachment hearing with Marie Yovanovitch by writerknowles
Marie Yovanovitch, former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, is scheduled to testify on Friday at 10 a.m. ET in the second public hearing of the House impeachment inquiry of President Trump. She is expected to provide details about what she has termed a “smear campaign” waged against her by Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani.
While Giuliani is certain to become the focus of much of Friday’s testimony, three other possible sideshows are worth watching. Story continuesYet Jordan’s assertion that Trump put a hold on aid to Ukraine until he could be assured of Zelensky’s honesty has no support in the memo of Trump’s July 25 call with the Ukraine president, in which he specifically asked for the investigations as a “favor.” Other members of his administration had made clear to Kyiv that a public announcement of the investigation would prompt the restoration of aid.
Democrats counter that everything in the complaint has now been corroborated over the course of sworn depositions, making the whistleblower’s testimony and identity irrelevant. Revealing the whistleblower’s name would undercut the protections established to root out government corruption. Jordan, on the other hand, clearly believes he already knows the identity of the whistleblower. During Wednesday’s hearing he railed against “this anonymous so-called whistleblower, with no first-hand knowledge, who is biased against the president, who worked with Joe Biden, who is the reason we are all sitting here today. We’ll never get a chance to question that individual.”“I’d be glad to have the person who started it all come in and testify,” Welch said.
In her deposition to House investigators, Yovanovitch testified that Giuliani sought her ouster because she refused to pressure the Ukrainians for an investigation of Biden.
