Former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch testified Friday in front of the House Intelligence Committee as part of the Democrat-led effort to impeach President Trump.

Yovanovitch was mentioned in the intelligence community whistleblower’s complaint that alleged abuse of power related to Trump’s dealings with Ukraine that sparked the impeachment effort.

Bush and the ambassador to Ukraine under President Barack Obama, continuing into the Trump administration, and became a target of Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani and others.
