On January 25, 2020, several American media, including the Associated Press, published an hour and a half video with the participation of the US president. It captures dinner at Trump Hotel in Washington, held in April 2018. On the record of Donald Trump in a conversation, presumably with Leo Parnassus, a partner of his lawyer Rudolf Juliani, demands to immediately withdraw the US ambassador in Ukraine Marie Jovanovich. Prior to this, Parnassus tells the president that Jovanovich in Kyiv is distributing rumors about the imminent impeachment of Trump. At the same time, the president, obviously, has no idea who Jovanovic is - but in response to the words of Parnassus declares: “Get rid of it! Right tomorrow! I don't worry like. "
As expected, this record was made by another partner of Juliani Igor Fruman. American businessmen from the former USSR Parnas and Fruman were arrested in October 2019 and are now undergoing falsification of data on donations to the pre -election fund of the Republican Party.
The video was released against the backdrop of the hearing about impeachment Donald Trump, which are now being held in the US Senate (in December 2019, the US House has already voted for impeachment, now the line for the Senate is now in the procedure). Trump is accused of using his official position and provoking foreign intervention in the US election. The accusations are connected with the Ukrainian oil and gas company Burisma, which consists of a board of directors of which was Hunter Biden, son of Joe Biden, a potential competitor of Trump from a democratic party in the 2020 presidential election. Trump is accused of in a conversation with the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky in July 2019 demanded that Ukraine have opened a criminal case against Hunter Biden in exchange for military assistance from the United States.
The intermediary by Trump in negotiations with the Ukrainian authorities was the lawyer of US President Rudolf Juliani, and the US Ambassador to Ukraine at that time, Marie Jovanovich, actively resisted his efforts. In the spring of 2019, a year after Trump, in a conversation with Leo Parnas, demanded “remove it”, Jovanovich was recalled from the post of US ambassador in Ukraine. During the IVOVANOVAM INOVANOVICH, Ivovanovich’s House, she denied that she had ever spoke negatively about Trump, but stated that the US State Department revoked her from the post of ambassador due to fears about her security.
