U.S. President Donald Trump attacked former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch in a series of tweets on Friday as she testified during an impeachment hearing investigating the Republican president's handling of Ukraine.

Trump said "everywhere Marie Yovanovitch went turned bad," noting that "it is a U.S. President’s absolute right to appoint ambassadors." His attack on Twitter came as Yovanovitch defended her credentials as a career diplomat and corruption fighter in Ukraine.
