Rudy Giuliani, a personal attorney for President Trump, said Monday that he played a key role in forcing ex-U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch from her post earlier this year, and claimed that he has evidence the Trump impeachment inquiry is a "cover-up" of Democratic malfeasance.

Giuliani, one of Trump's most loyal defenders, told Laura Ingraham on "The Ingraham Angle" that he helped forced out Yovanovitch because she was corrupt and obstructing the investigation into Ukraine and the Bidens.

Giuliani raised eyebrows recently after an interview was published in the New Yorker where he was quoted saying that he needed her "out of the way" because she would make the investigation into the Bidens "difficult for everybody."

It was interesting that the same week Yovanovitch was scheduled to testify, President Trump planned to host Erdogan of Turkey at the White House. I’m sure Erdogan was very happy that she had been fired. Previously Yovanovitch had been the Ambassador to Armenia. Turkey has been subject to a lot of criticism due to their treatment that killed so many Armenians from 1915 to 1919 that many called it “ethnic cleansing.” Yovanovitch had not actually used those words publicly but she did say that Turkey had done bad things. Was part of getting rid of her done to warm up relations with Turkey?
