President Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Guiliani, opened up about Marie Yovanovitch’s removal from her post as U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine.
Giuliani also noted that he has evidence that proves the Trump impeachment inquiry is simply a “cover-up” for Democratic misconduct.
Giuliani, who has always been defending Trump’s decisions, told Laura Ingraham during an interview on “The Ingraham Angle” his reasons for ousting Yovanovitch. His reasonings were that she was one of many corrupt persons obstructing the investigation into Ukraine and the Bidens.
After an interview was published in the New Yorker where he was quoted saying he needed and wanted her “out of the way” because she would make the Biden investigation “difficult for everybody”, Guiliani was criticized.
During his interview with Ingraham, he explained that he needed her out of the picture because she was in fact corrupt. He also noted that he was not the only person to express concern about the diplomat.
Giuliani continued on Twitter: “Yovanovitch needed to be removed for many reasons most critical she was denying visas to Ukrainians who wanted to come to US and explain Dem corruption in Ukraine. She was OBSTRUCTING JUSTICE and that’s not the only thing she was doing. She at minimum enabled Ukrainian collusion.”
More from Fox News:
Last month during the House impeachment inquiry hearings, Yovanovitch, 60, delivered a dramatic personal account of her ouster as America’s Ukraine ambassador amid a campaign against her by Trump associates, testifying that she was “kneecapped” by the administration.
She relayed in detail her story of being suddenly recalled by Trump in May, saying she believes Giuliani played a key role in telling people she was not sufficiently supportive of the president.
