President Donald Trump responded to an ABC News report claiming that he had told a group that he wanted former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch removed from office.

“Get rid of her,” Trump allegedly said in a conversation. “Get her out tomorrow. I don’t care. Get her out tomorrow. Take her out. OK? Do it.” The report claimed he made the comment to lawyer Rudy Giuliani’s business associates Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, who were both indicted in New York.
