WASHINGTON: Witness transcripts in the impeachment probe into Donald Trump were made public for the first time on Monday , with the former US ambassador to Kiev telling investigators she felt threatened by the president in his call to Ukraine's leader.
She said she was"shocked" when she read the summary of Trump's Jul 25 call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in which Trump said the ambassador was"going to go through some things.""Did you feel threatened?" an investigator asks Yovanovitch in the transcript.Yovanovitch said Ukraine's Interior Minister Arsen Avakov told her in February after speaking with Giuliani that it would be"dangerous" for Ukraine to become involved in US politics.
In his 37 years as a diplomat he had"never seen" efforts to use the State Department and its missions"to procure negative political information for domestic purposes," McKinley told investigators.
Prior to the release of the first transcripts, Trump sought to attack their credibility by suggesting, without evidence, that Schiff would"change the words that were said to suit the Dems' purposes." "This is just another Democrat Hoax that I have had to live with from the day I got elected," the president said.
