(CNN) - Ambassador Marie "Masha" Yovanovitch -- "someone who has never been hungry for the spotlight," as one former State Department official described her -- has increasingly found herself there as new developments in the Ukraine controversy have come to light.
But the former top US diplomat in Ukraine, maligned as "bad news" by President Donald Trump and and known by her diplomatic peers as "one of the best," may finally get to share her side of events on Friday at a scheduled deposition before three House committees.
"I would imagine for her this is pretty much worse than her worst nightmare in that not only are you being publicly criticized and condemned by your head of state but also the idea of all of this public attention. She's a pretty reserved person," the official told CNN.
