Former U.S. Ambassador in Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch’s testimony before Congress had less to do with President Trump and more to do with the individuals he’s surrounded himself with.

Trump’s allies have labeled Yovanovitch a Never Trump asset — an accusation that might be true, although it has no bearing on how Yovanovitch conducted diplomacy in Ukraine. In fact, Yovanovitch made it clear on Friday that she supported Trump’s foreign policy in the region. His decision to bolster the U.S.-Ukraine alliance with military aid advanced U.S. interests and made her job easier.
