4:49Now PlayingTrump's first impeachment - 2020
Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., questioned Marie Yovanovitch, the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, in a public hearing as part of the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump. Himes asked Yovanovitch to explain the difference between a government official having the “right” to do something versus whether something is “appropriate” or an “abuse of power.” Yovanovitch has testified that she was forced out of her position after Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, engineered a smear campaign against her. Republicans have argued the president has the right to remove an ambassador at any time. The impeachment probe centers around a July phone call in which Trump asked the president of Ukraine to investigate former vice president and 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter.
