Rudy Giuliani asserted today that Marie Yovanovitch “needed to be removed” from her post as the top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine
that he possessed new “documentary evidence” proving that Yovanovitch perjured herself during congressional testimony before House impeachment investigators.Giuliani's claims, for which he has provided no evidence, cut against the sworn testimony of a string of Trump-appointed State Department officials and diplomats, who described Yovanovitch as an anti-corruption champion and consummate professional before Trump summarily removed her after Giuliani's urging.
Trump invited Giuliani to the White House last week, just days after Giuliani returned from a trip to Kyiv and began reviving allegations against Yovanovitch and Trump's political adversaries. Trump has confirmed he's spoken to Giuliani and welcomed any information his attorney might provide to the Justice Department and Congress. Trump has also retweeted some of Giuliani's incendiary comments about Yovanovitch.
Separately, accusations of perjury in congressional investigations are extremely difficult to prove because they require showing not only that witnesses made false statements, but that they did so intentionally and in a way that materially impacted the investigation.
