Trump claims Marie Yovanovitch refused to hang his portrait in embassy in Ukraine

President Trump attacked former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch on Friday, saying she was "not an angel" and claiming she refused to hang his framed photograph in the embassy in Kiev for at least a year.

"This ambassador that everybody says was so wonderful, she wouldn't hang my picture in the embassy," Mr. Trump told "Fox and Friends" in an interview. "She wouldn't hang it."

The president said he had heard "bad things" about Yovanovitch, who was appointed by President Obama in 2016, and claimed she was disliked by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who was elected in May.

"This was not an angel, this woman, OK?" Mr. Trump said. "There were a lot of things that she did that I didn't like."

Mr. Trump and Zelensky discussed Yovanovitch during the July 25 phone call that launched House Democrats' impeachment inquiry into the president. During the call, Mr. Trump called Yovanovitch "bad news."
