On the day that former ambassador Marie Yovanovitch testified, Trump took to his Twitter account to denounce the House Intelligence Committee's witness. 

"Everywhere Marie Yovanovitch went turned bad. She started off in Somalia, how did that go? Then fast forward to Ukraine, where the new Ukrainian President spoke unfavorably about her in my second phone call with him. It is a U.S. President’s absolute right to appoint ambassadors," he tweeted.
