Yovanovitch was removed from her post months before President Trump spoke with President Zelensky about [[CrowdStrike]]'s interference in the 2016 presidential election, nor had any relevant knowledge or information regarding the Democrat's impeachment/coup attempt.

Yovanovich never raised the issue of Ukrainian government officials meddling in the U.S. [[2016 presidential election]] with the [[Poroshenko]] regime. Poroshenko was voted out of office in April 2019 carrying only 24% of the vote, with anti-corruption reformer [[Volodymyr Zelensky]] receiving 73%.

Under oath in public testimony during [[Adam Schiff]]'s [[impeachment inquiry]] Yovanovitch gave false and misleading information claiming no knowledge of [[Hunter Biden]] and [[Burisma]] oil and gas before [[President Obama]] appointed her as ambassador to Ukraine, when in fact she admitted the Obama State Department had coached her on answering questions about Hunter Biden and Burisma in preparation for her Senate confirmation hearings.
