Fox News Guy: "Were you telling Lev Parnas to get rid of your ambassador? I mean, you have a State Dept."
Trump: "I am not a fan of that ambassador... I probably would have said it to Rudy or somebody...I want ambassadors chosen by me."

@maddow @ABC @josephabondy Trump knows he caught here and fumbles for an explanation.
Why would Trump tell Rudy "or somebody" [Parnas] to fire Yovanovitch? Neither of them had the power to do so –– only Trump did. But Trump didn't say to fire her. He said to "take her out."

“Get rid of her! Get her out tomorrow. I don't care. Get her out tomorrow. Take her out. Okay? Do it.”
“Get rid of her! Get her out tomorrow. I don't care. Get her out tomorrow. Take her out. Okay? Do it.”
@maddow @ABC @josephabondy @abcnews About Yovanovitch, Trump says to PARNAS & FRUMAN: “Get rid of her! Get her out tomorrow. I don't care. Get her out tomorrow. Take her out. Okay? Do it.”
Trump DID NOT say “fire her” to his aide as Parnas claimed. He told Parnas & Fruman to “take her out.”
