Marie Yovanovitch receives standing ovation after Trump attacks her during impeachment testimony

Career diplomat receives swift praise for withstanding attacks from president during contentious public impeachment testimony

44 minutes ago

Marie Yovanovitch received a standing ovation following her public testimony in Donald Trump’s impeachment inquiry, in which the ousted ambassador to Ukraine was attacked by the president in a series of controversial tweets.

The audience stood and cheered for the career diplomat as House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff ordered the meeting to a close, marking a rare moment in American politics. Citizens who sit in on congressional hearings are typically instructed to remain silent and respect decorum by abstaining from any audible outbursts.

Ms Yovanovitch testified for about five hours on Friday, telling investigators about her ouster in May at Mr Trump’s direction and how she felt as she found out that he had criticised her in a July phone call with Ukraine’s president.

As she spoke, Mr Trump tweeted: “Everywhere Marie Yovanovitch went turned bad.”

Adam Schiff adjourns today’s #ImpeachmentHearing. Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch receives a standing ovation as she leaves. And Republicans fume in failure.

like he's trying to scope out someone to beat up. They know they're on the loser's side and they are all now losers.

Dolt45 screwed them so hard with one tweet!

there is no defeating them. Ever. It's only a matter of time before Trump is toast.
