Follow @AP for live updates from the second day of the Trump #ImpeachmentHearings. Former Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch is expected to tell lawmakers about her sudden ouster as President Trump recalled the career ambassador back to the United States. apne.ws/nhOp7LP
Trump released a summary transcript of a congratulatory April call with Ukraine's president-elect. The impeachment inquiry has been focused on a June call in which Trump asked him to do him “a favor” and look into the actions of Joe Biden and his son. apne.ws/vfUoNtB
Rep. Adam Schiff says Yovanovitch was “smeared and cast aside” by Trump because she was considered an obstacle to his personal and political agenda. Rep. Devin Nunes said the hearings were “spectacles” for Democrats to “advance their operation to topple a duly elected president."
Marie Yovanovitch tells Congress that attacks from corrupt interests have created a crisis at the State Department. She says that “a campaign of disinformation” that used "unofficial back channels" led to her removal from Ukraine. #ImpeachmentHearings

President Trump tweeted criticism of ex-Ukraine Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch while she testified, saying that everywhere Yovanovitch went "turned bad." She says she was the victim of “a campaign of disinformation” that led to her removal from Ukraine.

Rep. Liz Cheney, the No. 3 Republican in the House, says President Donald Trump “was wrong” to post tweets critical of former Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch during her testimony in the #ImpeachmentHearings apne.ws/hoOzARp
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says witness intimidation is a crime, but is stopping just short of saying that President Trump crossed that line with a tweet attacking the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine as she testified in the House #ImpeachmentHearings. apne.ws/f4juEEa
Maria Yovanovitch rejects notion that Ukraine tried to interfere in 2016 presidential election, as President Trump has suggested. She testified "we really didn't see it that way" and that intelligence community determined it was Russia that interfered. apne.ws/NpvDEBk
The former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine says a political ally of President Trump suggested she “send out a tweet, praise the president” when it became clear she was abruptly losing her job. She rejected the advice. apne.ws/S8HSH0r

.@AP investigative reporters @garanceburke and @mendozamartha teamed up with @frontlinepbs and asked: What happens to migrant kids when they’re put in US custody? (1/6)

READ MORE: apnews.com/015702afdb4d4f…
First the reporters had to find out how many kids were involved. @AP and @frontlinepbs found all the migrant infants, toddlers, children and teens held by the US government over the past year would overflow a typical NFL stadium. (2/6)
That’s almost 70,000 kids, scattered across 170 programs in 23 states.

The reporters asked: What does it feel like in the detention centers? The residential shelters?

The children’s answers: Scared. Lonely. Angry. Hurt.

“There was despair everywhere,” one teen said. (3/6)

An @AP @frontlinepbs investigation finds that the U.S. had nearly 70,000 migrant children in custody this year, a record number at risk for trauma that can cause continuing physical and emotional problems even after reaching their families. (1/5) apne.ws/tilbcWN
The nearly 70,000 children held in US custody this year spent more time in shelters and away from their families than in prior years. The Trump administration’s strict immigration policies have increased the time children spend in detention. (2/5)
“There was something there that made us feel desperate. It was freedom. We wanted to be free,” said a Honduran teen held in a large detention center for four months. “There was despair everywhere.” (3/5)

1. Today's Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch Show

WSJ Headline: Obama Appointee Denied Long Tenure as Trump Ambassador

Once again today, public was vividly reminded why voters should be the ones to decide when the Trump presidency ends.
2. "Nobody enjoys getting fired. And getting fired by Trump can be particularly unpleasant. But as involuntary separations go, an Obama ambassador being reassigned to another job within the State Dept while picking up a Georgetown fellowship is not the hardest of landings."
3. "Also, for anyone persuaded by former Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch’s congressional testimony today that she was the key to a free and independent Ukraine free of corruption, it’s worth noting two relevant issues."

They are referring to fired Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch who cried at the private inquiry that our big bad President took her job away. He was right for doing so. It seems that good ole Marie was telling the Ukranian govt who they could and could not investigate.
Was she obstructing justice? WAPO claims this was the catalyst for the impeachment. Maybe but I think not. It is clear to me that the DNC is in panic mode. Some where from high above they have been told that our President must go because they are very very very near to being
exposed. The firing of an ambassador in the grand scheme is nothing. But she does need to be asked who signed the check for Victoria Chalupa. How involved is she with the cabal infested members and donors to the fake @AtlanticCouncil ? Look at them!

@RepAdamSchiff .@DevinNunes attacking Democrats' credibility and intentions in his opening statement.

Dismisses #impeachmenthearings as a "sham," a "televised theatrical performance," the "low rent Ukrainian sequel" to "the Russia hoax."

Also defends Pres. Trump's firing of Amb Yovanovitch.
@RepAdamSchiff @DevinNunes Who are George Kent and Bill Taylor, testifying in today's #ImpeachmentHearings ?
