Marie Yovanovitch, the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, has announced her retirement from the State Department. One month earlier, Trump abruptly recalled Yovanovitch from her position as ambassador to Ukraine after the president reportedly lost confidence in her abilities. President Trump engaged in this scheme or course of conduct for corrupt purposes in pursuit of personal political benefit. In response, without lawful cause or excuse, President Trump directed Executive Branch agencies, offices, and officials not to comply with those subpoenas. After Trump's impeachment, the decision on whether to remove him from office went to the Senate, sparking the Senate impeachment trial.
