Marie Yovanovitch, the former ambassador to Ukraine, was eventually removed in April 2019 in a sprawling scandal that has engulfed the Trump administration.
In response to a question about the recording's authenticity, White House communications director Stephanie Grisham providedwith the following statement:"Every President in our history has had the right to place people who support his agenda and his policies within his Administration."
On a July 25, 2019, phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, Trump indicated that Yovanovitch would be going"through some things." That call, in which the president sought for his Ukrainian counterpart to launch an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden, Trump's chief political rival in the 2020 presidential race, formed the basis for the president's impeachment.
Yovanovitch has accused Rudy Giuliani, the president's personal attorney, of leading a freelancing campaign in Ukraine to smear her as disloyal in order to provoke her firing. The president has previously denied directing Giuliani to scour Ukraine for dirt on Biden, a probe that Trump's associates have accused Yovanovitch of obstructing.
