A new transcript released Friday by the White House<\/a> appeared to end speculation that President Donald Trump attacked former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch in his first phone call in April with then-newly elected Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.<\/p>\n

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) had asked Yovanovitch during a closed-door Oct. 11 deposition if she knew if Trump had brought her up before. She responded, \u201cI dont know. I had assumed it was the April 21st phone call, that first phone call, because that, to my knowledge, is the only time\u2014other time that they talked.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said that \u201cits possible\u201d that Trump criticized her after Schiff suggested that she didnt get a briefing, or readout, on the first call because he may have been \u201cbashing her.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Friday, the day of the House hearing featuring Yovanovitch, the White House released a full transcript of the April call, showing that her name never came up.<\/p>\n

Yovanovitch said on Friday in front of the House Intelligence Committee that she was upset that Trump removed her over what she thought was a smear campaign.<\/p>\n

She said, \u201cUkrainians who preferred to play by the old, corrupt rules sought to remove me. What continues to amaze me is that they found Americans willing to partner with them and, working together, they apparently succeeded in orchestrating the removal of a U.S. Ambassador.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Yovanovitch also mentioned she had no direct knowledge about any withheld U.S. military aid to Ukraine or the July 25 phone call between Trump and Zelensky\u2014the subject of the impeachment inquiry.<\/p>\n

\u201cI cannot bring any firsthand knowledge to \u2026 the July 25th phone call, the discussions surrounding the call, or any discussions surrounding the delay of security assistance,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Vadym Prystaiko said Thursday that U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland \u201cnever\u201d linked aid to Ukrainian investigations into the 2016 elections or former Vice President Joe Biden, who Trump, during the July call, had asked Zelensky to \u201clook into\u201d the business dealings of Biden and his son, HuRead More \u2013 Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
