Tape Surfaces of Trump Allegedly Firing Ex-U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine

ABC News has reviewed a recording of what they say “appears” to be President Trump speaking about wanting former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch fired.

On the tape, the voice that appears to be Trump can be heard saying of Yovanovitch, “Get rid of her! Get her out tomorrow. I don’t care. Get her out tomorrow. Take her out. OK? Do it.”

The report goes on to cite sources who say the recording was made by Igor Fruman during an intimate dinner in 2018 at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C. Both Fruman and Lev Parnas were indicted for campaign-finance violations in October 2019 and are former associates of Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani.

The tape also captures the point at which the president may have been triggered to fire Yovanovitch, according to ABC News. Parnas appears to say: “The biggest problem there, I think where we need to start is we gotta get rid of the ambassador. She’s still left over from the Clinton administration.”

1. This makes no sense. TRUMP himself had full power to fire her.

He could have done it in a tweet the way he fires everyone else.

And he was having this conversation with people who had NO power to fire her.

SO, why would the guy who HAS the power to fire her tell people who DON'T have that power to do the firing?

2. That is my question

all I know is that they needed to destroy her and her stellar reputation before they did. Team trump did not want the media asking questions on why she was fired. Her term was set to expire in a few months, but trump couldn't wait that long for her to be gone. He had some bribing to do.
