Donald Trump denies tweets attacking Yovanovitch were witness intimidation – video
Donald Trump has denied that attacks directed at Marie Yovanovitch, the former US ambassador to Ukraine, as she testified in the second day of impeachment hearings amounted to witness intimidation.
‘Everywhere Marie Yovanovitch went turned bad,’ Trump wrote in tweets which were dramatically read aloud to Yovanovitch during the hearing. Democrats immediately accused the president of attempting to intimidate a witness.
Calling the process a ‘disgrace’, the president said Republicans had been prevented from properly scrutinising her during the hearing
