Rudy Giuliani, a personal attorney for President Trump,\u00a0said Monday that he played a\u00a0key role\u00a0in forcing ex-U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine\u00a0Marie Yovanovitch<\/a>\u00a0from her post earlier this year, and claimed that he has\u00a0evidence the Trump impeachment inquiry is a “cover-up” of Democratic malfeasance.<\/p>\n Giuliani, one of Trump’s most loyal defenders, told Laura Ingraham on “The Ingraham Angle<\/a>” that he helped forced out Yovanovitch because she was corrupt and obstructing the investigation into Ukraine and the Bidens.<\/p>\n Giuliani raised eyebrows recently after an interview was published in the New Yorker where he\u00a0was\u00a0quoted saying that he needed her “out of the way” because she would make the investigation into the Bidens “difficult for everybody.”<\/p>\n He told\u00a0Ingraham that he needed her out of the way because she was corrupt.\u00a0Giuliani said he was not the first person to go to the president with concerns about the diplomat.<\/p>\n In more\u00a0tweets Tuesday, Giuliani elaborated: “Yovanovitch needed to be removed for many reasons most critical she was denying visas to Ukrainians who wanted to come to US and explain Dem corruption in Ukraine. She was OBSTRUCTING JUSTICE and that\u2019s not the only thing she was doing. She at minimum enabled Ukrainian collusion.”<\/p>\n Yovanovitch needed to be removed for many reasons most critical she was denying visas to Ukrainians who wanted to come to US and explain Dem corruption in Ukraine.
