This latest development follows political attacks from Trump allies on the career US ambassador in Ukraine. She was forced out of her job early, in part following unfounded attacks by Ukrainian official Yuriy Lutsenko, who met multiple times with Giuliani foreignpolicy.com/2019/05/07/us-…
Newsweek's @CrisLeeMaza has more on this: @mikercarpenter said “It’s appalling to see Secretary Pompeo recalling a career ambassador only a few months before the end of her tenure...just to pander to partisan conspiracy theorists" newsweek.com/rudy-giuliani-…
“My interest is really to get everybody to focus on the conspiracy between the Ukrainians, the [DNC], and the embassy, including our ambassador who was just fired,” Giuliani told Newsweek. He said the US ambo was "using her embassy to dig out negative political shit on Trump"
We spoke to current & former State officials who dismissed Giuliani's claims about Yovanovitch. Worth mentioning Lutsenko quietly walked back his claims about Yovanovitch a month later, but none of the news sites that ran with it updated their stories foreignpolicy.com/2019/05/07/us-…
