Democratic staffer emailed Ukraine ambassador to discuss 'delicate' issue following whistleblower complaint
Staffer emailed about 'time-sensitive' issue days after complaint was filed.
Former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, a key witness in House Democrats' impeachment inquiry, communicated via her personal email account with a Democratic congressional staffer concerning a "quite delicate" and "time-sensitive" matter -- just two days after the whistleblower complaint that kickstarted the inquiry was filed, and a month before the complaint became public, emails obtained Thursday by Fox News showed.
During Yovanovitch's deposition on Capitol Hill last month, New York Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin asked her about an email she received on Aug. 14 from the staffer, Laura Carey -- and Yovanovitch indicated under oath that she had never personally responded to it.
"They -- from the Foreign Affairs Committee, and they wanted me to come in and talk about, I guess, the circumstances of my departure," Yovanovitch said, describing Carey's initial email. "I alerted the State Department, because I'm still an employee, and so, matters are generally handled through the State Department."
Yovanovitch continued: "So, she emailed me. I alerted the State Department and, you know, asked them to handle the correspondence. And, she emailed me again and said, you know, who should I be in touch with?"
Fox News is told it is a breach of normal procedure for congressional staff to reach out to a current State Department employee at their personal email address for official business.

Alright, to those who have seen me rant about distrusting the Rs in the senate regarding kicking Trump out..it seems like this slop would be shot down rather quickly by Rs in the senate.
Forgive me for my YUUUUGGGEEE and SERIES distrust of congress critters
She lied under oath.
What, if anything, will happen to this liar?
I wouldn’t worry too much about her Jane. I think she will be just fine no matter what she does.
Someone said politics make for strange bedfellows. It is only because they are all consistently and persistently screwing someone including each other and us.
We should just paint the whole town of DC, every state house, county court house and city hall red.

She lied, will anyone do anything? Yes, CNN will hire her.
Who knows, she might the VP on the rat 🐀 ticket.
Your distrust is more than justified. Something about “by thy fruits shall ye know them.” This Fake Congress has nothing to earn anybody’s trust or respect.
Should we continue on our suicidal rush to a totalitarian hell hole, I will them as they have treated us. NOT MY PRESIDENT.
Nothing.
Nothing ever happens to the deep staters.
I have taken HECK here for saying it’s NOT impossible.
Honestly, I don’t see how we can trust them based SOLELY on them losing their seats.
Having pictures of you with a child in perverse ways can make one vote against Trump and then it is WORTH losing the seat compared to the deep state destroying your whole life.
Or perhaps such vast fortunes are offered to them to vote against Trump that it is worth taking the risk.
AGAIN, these are out there ideas because deep state would need to find TWENTY who would do it, and not ALL are monsters or greedy.
But thanks for letting me feel less paranoid.
I see him getting kicked out as an act of war if God forbid it did happen.
So she lied under oath?
I want to know if there’s any truth to the allegation that Yovanovitch gave the Ukrainians a “do not prosecute list.”
