A nearly 90-minute recording released Saturday of President Donald Trump at a 2018 donor dinner that included indicted businessmen he has claimed he doesn't know includes Trump speaking animatedly about removing the US ambassador to Ukraine -- at one point stating,"Get rid of her!"
The tape was shared publicly by an attorney for Lev Parnas, the Soviet-born businessman who subsequently worked with Rudy Giuliani to push for ousting the ambassador, Marie Yovanovitch. She was ultimately removed from her post in April 2019."Get her out tomorrow. I don't care," the President says at a dinner with donors at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, DC."Get her out tomorrow. Take her out. OK? Do it." .
See what a racist system does it allows a sitting president to lie continually without any accountability D.Trump is using the president that was set with the first fifteen sitting presidents who all had slaves without any accountability nor were any impeached
Yup!
So what!!!we already knew the President did not want this ambassador because of her animus toward him. It is the President's perogative. Get over it!!!
So....a President can fire people! Other Presidents have done it! This is not even news
Said the Anti American Anti Trump propaganda machine CNN.
Yeah, a year before Trump fired her. Obama fired every single ambassador the day he took office. Everyone! This lady blocked travel visas for Ukrainians who were to testify before Congress on corruption to protect the Obama/Biden criminal enterprise. Aka Foreign Aid circle jerk.
For a guy nobody knows, he moves in high circles.
More fake news
Our IMPOTUS, the embodiment of the Peter Principle.
More fake manipulation of words by the last place on ratings CNN
Breaking News!! Trump was recorded talking about firing a ambassador that he fired 😅 You really can’t make this $& up
2018 you mean before Biden was a candidate for President..... Does this just not prove that the impeachment is a scam.... 🤔🤔🤔🤔
It is absolutely amazing to see how instrumental this network is in the effort to bring down the President. Your hatred is noted and will be made known to as many people as possible around the globe. Unfair one sided reporting.
So what! Again he can fire as he wishes. Not against the law.
BFD
Parnas is unreliable. He flips all over the place to get attention. Completely unreliable!
It’s a bit too funny that the president cannot fired anyone who works for his administration. As far as my memory serves me, he can dismissed anyone in his administration at any given time. And she was awful, just like anyone in Ukraine corruption is the way they do everything.
I listened to the entire recording. Someone sitting near Parnas said to Trump that “Germany isn’t helping Ukraine, they’re helping Russia”. But two-thirds of Ukraine aid since 2014 have come from the EU. Why was this man trying to foster EU-US disunity? Is Fruman a Russian spy?
Seems like most people didn’t read or watch the video. It really has nothing to do with firing an ambassador. He’s at a small gathering, talking with Parnas, a man he claims he doesn’t know. Of course Trump supporters think it’s nothing! Wake up!!!
I’ve wondered how it is that there is an actual fucking RECORDING and then it occurred to me that lots of people must record him knowing some of the batshit crazy things he will do and say and thinking they can use that either for protection or blackmailing.
realDonaldTrump so what do you say about these tapes?
WHO CARES ABOUT THAT. TRUMP HAS THE RIGHT TO HIRE AND FIRE. ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC PLOY..
Trump:
Look how the president was framed by people around him , it’s amazing
Yovanovitch was campaigning AGAINST the Commander in Chief. She wasnt working for AMERICA..realDonaldTrump did the right thing in removing her immediately.
While it might not be criminal, it's rock-solid proof that he just lies, blatantly and without remorse, to the American public. That you can't trust his word on anything, and that any 'evidence' he provides or has provided is likely manufactured.
Yes he has a right
Trump asks how long Ukraine would last in a fight with Russia without USA help. People respond with not very long and some one else says 30 seconds. So Trump then stops the help. Who is he helping by stopping the help is it his ally Ukraine or the enemy Russia ?
For all these people parroting Fox News with, 'He can fire whoever he wants!' Yes, with just cause and for reasons that benefit the United States. Extorting people and firing innocent patriots for doing their jobs is NOT the same thing as a legitimate termination. Stop it.

Don't believe the hype of Trump's defenders, Parnas and Giuliani and Mulvaney are Trump's kryptonite!
Is he not the one who appointed the US Ambassador, if the Ambassador's service is unsatisfactory to him, doesn't he have the prerogative to remove him? Just wondering...
Oh no high crimes 😂
Trump has every right to fire, move or get rid of ANY Ambassador for or not for cause. Period. So what that 14 months before she was let this was said. It shows me she was on the radar for corruption. Period
The recording clearly shows that realDonaldTrump knows LevParnas VERY well. The recording clearly shows that POTUS wanted to remove MarieYovanovitch. The recording clearly shows that Trump is a liar.
BFD-Ambassador's are Appointed Rich people with political connections based on generous $ contributions, essentially buy Title. Ambassadors job- host cocktail parties & wave US flag
You guys should bad mouth Jeff Zucker & talk about ending his career openly then have someone record him when he learns who is saying what about ending him😆
Trump has completely destroyed the presidency! How can so many crooks, swindlers, and corrupt people rub shoulders so easily with the president?
Republicans are so stupids 😡😡😡🤬🤬
SenateGOP Please note!
Criminals lie. Lock them up.
“Removing” He was ordering a hit.
Deny, Reflect, Attack, Bully, LIE , Trump playbook!!
Obama was admittedly best fiends and actual bomber Bill Ayers. We were told by the news that was his privacy.
What other salacious recordings of Trump are we still going to hear about, if he could be recorded for an hour as President, without knowing? Will he claim he doesn't know the President on that recording?
What a bunch of delusional morons. Secretly recording the President and releasing it....Who's paying this Russian asset? Espionage is what this is. Parnas is Russian. Money has it that the left is behind this.
So what! He can fire any Ambassador just like Obama did when he was elected!
But he doesn’t know him... and he is a thug... 🤡🍑🤡🍑🤡🍑
Does the clown AdamSchiff write for ?
Why at a donor dinner. Is that where presidents talk about firing stuff. With donors. Like he bragged to friends then bombed the Iranian.
Nothing illegal about that . Trump is allowed to fire whoever he wants. He is the boss . President Obama fired every single ambassador
I’m starting to understand where all the Nazis ran to. The big USA! Damn fools.
It's fake!!
Why is he talking about this at a state dinner? Not an appropriate topic. He has no sense of what not to say in public and who not to say it to. Appalling.
Fake news!
Trump lies because he is a liar.
Factual Confirmation of a GUILTY POTUS/TRUMP.....again!
FAKE NEWS
The most important aspect of this event, and probably the most overlooked, is that Bondy has stated, Parnas has more recordings of President Trump... turn the lights off when you leave!
Context? 90 minutes too short for Republicans
Guilty as hell.
A timeline would be important. This happened in April 2018. Biden announced he was running in April 2019. Does this not prove that Trump was in fact looking at corruption in Ukraine and not for an edge in the 2020 election?
So what? Why does CNN insist on beating a dead horse? Go find some real news to report on if you even know what that is anymore
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Impeach the SOB again. Keep doing it.
Smart man. Very smart
A video illegally taken and without permission. Clearly heard early on was a comment about not filming. Without consent / permission this should not be admissible.
He talks a lot of political issues with people he claims he doesn’t know or never met! I believe this is the sign he is losing his damn mind… FakePresident
Fire a career bureaucrat who was disloyal. Sounds like the right move to me.
I know a lot of people, but still know nothing about them.
He use to have a massively popular show where he did this on TV. She deserved it. Good fire.
This guy has had this recording like Omarosa! He’s a traitor and who cares he can fire and hire who ever says nothing.... !
Perfect.
So what? 😂 he can fire any ambassador at any time for absolutely no reason lol. Obama fires all bushs appointees.
Nothing here but liberal delusional frothing. Any President can fire an ambassador for any reason at anytime. They serve at the discretion & pleasure of the President. Now let’s talk about Hillary letting Ambassador Rich die in Benghazi. OANN FoxNews Liz_Wheeler TuckerCarlson
So ur saying every one knows all the people who attend these diners? Answer is no.
Too bad Trump can't erase '18 minutes' of that conversation.
😴😴😴😴
Ya Americans have heard trump on audio tape before
Thank you clearing that up CNN This shows that she definitely should have been fired.
He's the Boss!
Oh wow, another CNN “bombshell.”
Trump has been in the room with hundred of people and by the way has the right to get rid of anyone he feels that does not support the administration plans. That is the way all have done for Obama change all his day one.
Trump 2020, shows how the left is nuts
So? Ambassadors work for him, not the other way around. They can be dismissed at any time for any reason.
It's fine, Ukraine will get to the bottom of it since they announced an investigation.
Ahh he can remove any ambassador he wants why is this a story this is why cnn is dead last in the ratings
And....the President has the right and authority to 'fire' any Ambassador he/she chooses. And said President may talk about it anywhere and to anyone they want. LetThePeopleDecide
I know you news outlets are trying to play it safe but let’s face it. When someone says takeherout to a thug, they’re talking lead trajectory not career trajectory.
The GOP is a disgrace.. start with the trash at the top realDonaldTrump 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
At this point, Americans who don’t like their country will not vote next election, and American who hate their country are going to vote Democrats because Democrats are enemy within.
Ohhh you got him now 😆😆
Ya. She needed to be removed
I’m old enough to remember when Obama fired every single U.S. Ambassador for no reason.
Yet she stayed on the job 14 months after the convo.
I have been to a many donor dinners and not known 98% of the people in the room. Buy you already know that stuff.....but you are CNN and make subtle accusations. You pathetic lost souls.
Isn't this a violation of the espionage act
Some POTUS. We should start calling him Fredo ?
And? He is allowed to remove any ambassador, for absolutely ANY reason he chooses. This is not news, you could classify this as fakenews....
Just because he was there doesn’t mean Trump knew him. I doubt he knew all the donors there just like any other candidate selling plates for events.
So Trump is a pathological liar. What else is new?
And?
“Yovanovitch reportedly created a list of individuals who were to be monitored via social media and other means. Ukraine embassy staff made the request to the Washington D.C. headquarters office of the department’s Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs”.
WONK WONK WONK.....nobody cares.
So what
