Yovanovich is an 'Uppity Woman Who Needs to Get out of the Way'

Where are we on impeachment today?
Public Hearings, Day 2. Ousted U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch testifies. Democrats say they plan to use the testimony about her ousting -- including threats and harassment -- to make an emotional appeal to the country about the human cost of the President's conduct. An Ukrainian associate of Rudy Giuliani, Lev Parnas, says that he first convinced Trump to remove Yovanovitch,  contradicting Trump's claim that he didn't know Parnas. A second individual has come forward, corroborating the story that Gordon Sondland, the U.S. Ambassador to the E.U., who was Trump's apparent point-man on Ukraine policy, took a phone call with the President, after which he described the president as more pre-occupied with the Bidens than with Ukraine. Sondland will testify in an open hearing on Wednesday.
