Marie Yovanovitch retires from State Department after playing key role in impeachment
Former Ukrainian ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, who testified in the House impeachment inquiry, is retiring from foreign service, CBS News' Margaret Brennan confirmed. In a recording made by an associate of Rudy Giuliani, Lev Parnas, in April 2018, President Trump was heard saying"get rid of her" and"take her out."
The news of Yovanovitch's retirement was first reported by NPR. Despite being forced out from her post in Kiev in May 2019, she had remained on the payroll, according to NPR.

She said she felt threatened when she learned what Mr. Trump said about her on his now-infamous July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Mr. Trump said Yovanovitch was"bad news" and would be"going through some things," comments that she said provoked a physical reaction when she learned of them in September.
