@CNN @eorden @KaraScannell Parnas has previously described in interviews the 2018 dinner at which the recording allegedly takes place. Parnas has said that at that dinner, he witnessed Trump telling a top aide, John DeStefano, to fire the ambassador.
@CNN @eorden @KaraScannell "In the conversation, the subject of Ukraine was brought up," Parnas told CNN. "And I told the President that—our opinion—that [Yovanovitch] is bad-mouthing him and that she said that he's gonna get impeached—something like that. I don't know if that's word for word."
@CNN @eorden @KaraScannell Parnas said Trump reacted immediately.
"He looked at me, like, got very angry," Parnas recalled, "and basically turned around to John DeStefano, and said, 'Fire her. Get rid of her.'"
