CNN reports:
Former US Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch is slated to testify on Capitol Hill behind closed doors Friday, a high-stakes deposition that could shed light onto the role the Trump administration played in withholding US military aid to the country as Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani pushed Ukraine to open an investigation into Joe Biden.
Yovanovitch was unexpectedly pulled from her position in the spring, and her ousting was cited in the whistleblower’s complaint as having raised red flags about whether the President was abusing his office by soliciting foreign interference in the election to help find dirt on former Vice President Biden and his son Hunter.
