‘She started off in Somalia, how did that go?’: Trump mocks former US ambassador to Ukraine

President Trump attacked former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch on Twitter as she was testifying in front of the House Intelligence Committee Friday morning.

Yovanovitch, a career foreign service officer, was removed from her post last spring and has pointed the finger at Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani for starting a smear campaign against her. Trump also referenced her in the July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in which he asked for the foreign leader to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, his son Hunter, and Burisma, a Ukrainian company the younger Biden worked for.

"Everywhere Marie Yovanovitch went turned bad. She started off in Somalia, how did that go? Then fast forward to Ukraine, where the new Ukrainian President spoke unfavorably about her in my second phone call with him. It is a U.S. President’s absolute right to appoint ambassadors," the president tweet shortly after the start of her testimony.

She is still employed in the state department assigned to a fellowship at George Town University. Insane to me she basically got a promotion after blocking travel visas for Barr’s team in Ukraine. She also never complained or commented on Hunter and other Americans being on board. Up to her neck in the fake Russian hoax that started with her in Ukraine. Pure corruption.

He just can't leave well enough alone.
The republicans were up 65-10 and there's a minute left. Mr. President, just please -please for just once - take the friggin victory formation and take a knee. You shoot yourself in the foot every time there's good news about you. Just shut the F up!
