President Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani spent the eve of the House impeachment vote bragging about his role in the removal of the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine.
As the House moves closer to impeaching President Trump, his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani has been increasingly outspoken in public about his role in the Ukrainian scandal at the center of the inquiry.
In an interview with the New Yorker conducted in November and published this week, Giuliani said that removing Yovanovitch was key to moving forward with the investigation into the Bidens. He assembled a dossier on Yovanovitch and the Bidens, which he passed along to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. “I just gave them the facts,” said Giuliani. “I mean, did I think she should be recalled? I thought she should have been fired. If I was attorney general, I would have kicked her out. I mean — secretary of state.”
On Monday evening, Giuliani told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham that he forced Yovanovitch out. “Of course I did,” he said, adding, “I didn’t need her out of the way. I forced her out because she’s corrupt.” Trump disparaged Yovanovitch in his July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, referring to her as “the woman” and saying, “She’s going to go through some things,” according to a memo on the call released by the White House.
