"Every president in our history has had the right to place people who support his agenda and his policies within his administration," White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham told CNBC.
"Get her out tomorrow. I don't care. Get her out tomorrow. Take her out. Okay? Do it," Trump said in the recording, ABC reported.The small event at Trump's hotel in Washington, D.C., reportedly included Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, who worked with Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani in his efforts in 2019 to get Ukraine to announce probes into Trump's political opponents and a debunked theory about the 2016 election.
The pressure campaign toward Ukraine, conducted while the Trump administration withheld millions of dollars in congressionally appropriated military aid to the country, led House Democrats to impeach Trump on articles of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress last month.Yovanovitch was fired in May 2019. She testified as part of the House impeachment inquiry that she felt threatened by Trump and his allies, who had disparaged her even after she was removed from her post.
Parnas has been cooperating with Democratic investigators. Less than a week before the Senate trial proceedings began, Parnas and his lawyer, Joseph Bondy,. That evidence included text messages, phone records, handwritten notes and other materials."Every president in our history has had the right to place people who support his agenda and his policies within his administration," Grisham said in an emailed statement.
Wasn’t she at the end of her term anyway?
Yup. He’s a damn gangster ...someone should take him out for long ride up north.
He’s her boss. She was undermining him. What do you people and her not understand, “you’re fired”.
I know you reeeaallly want this to come off like a mob-hit but it was just the firing of a poor performing and insubordinate representative. Would you like to know how many ambassadors Obama “took out”?
Yep. Caught doing what he can do as POTUS.
I’d fire her disloyal ass in a nano-second. It’s the President’s right to hire and fire ambassadors. Why is this a headline?
She’s outta hereeeeee
Yea get her and her ways outta here....she’s fired
So?
Trump looking for a date?🤡🤡🤡
Why would someone about to be fired, need to be under surveillance?
That's how it works when you are an 'at-will' employee and subverting your boss....
Obama ousted most of Bush's Ambassadors, that is a Presidents right.
She was awful. I hope she never works for the U.S. government again. Get a real job!!!
Wow, look at all the riled up trumpanzees and Russian bots in the reply thread.
Great decision made next to Comey being fired.
She should have been taken out when she refused to put the picture of her President (boss) on the wall at the embassy.
she is corrupt and dirty and was protecting the corrupt and dirty Bidens!
The ambassador serves at the pleasure of the President.
Trump has every right to choose who he wants as ambassador.
Cnnbc garbage comment no.17 for the day
ScottWapnerCNBC Don’t care! He can fire whomever he wants
Must be a slow news day Who cares
Mob talk. Comey was right
And? It’s allowed, Obama fired everyone of his ambassadors when took office. No one said a thing.
So What! She’s just a Presidential appointee - by Democrat Obama.
Get her out. Don’t be fake news
since when did it become wrong for a president to fire an ambassador
FAKE NEWS
So what...?
Okay - it’s his job to out the right people in jobs representing the US interests - he did his job - just because she had Leftist ties everyone is in an uproar. Hypocrites- every last one of the Left. Slime ball hypocrites
The whole Ukraine bullying is well orchestrated and even scripted for Ukraine President to read out. The sole objective was to provide Trump with a tool for him to use against Biden in the 2020 election. He did that with Wikileaks in 2016 and got away with it.
Good. Take out the traitor !!!
Quid Pro Hoe was also recorded with a billion dollar fiasco ....but crickets in the media
Lol. The President of the United States can fire or hire who he or she wants as ambassador.
Not soon enough.
You do understand that Ambassadors serve at the request of the President...right?
He is allowed to do that, HACKS! Funny, I can't remember you reporting out on this when Obama replaced most of Bush appointed Ambassadors. She wasn't fired! Just reassigned! GET HELP FOR YOUR TDS!
I've said much worse when terminating an active cancer in my organization. Big nothing burger here. Don't be a LiberalHack
The Hag was under FISA surveillance. They have the goods on her dirty dealings in Ukraine.
So .? 🤔
Lordy, we hope there are tapes.
So what? He’s got the legal constitutional right to do so for, or for no reasons
Caught? She was an Obama hold over and a subversive, according to reports. She served at his privilege.
You know who else got taken out? Epsteindidntkillhimself
