WASHINGTON – The second public hearing in the impeachment inquiry wrapped up Friday with former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, who claims she was forced out of her position by a “shadow foreign policy.” 

While the inquiry continues, California Democratic lawmaker Lou Correa said foreign entities have confided in him about the inquiry.

“I just got back from visiting Asia and our allies Australia, New Zealand, Japan, they want us back to leading the world,” said Correa. “They want us to show democracy, to show freedom, to show wisdom again, the way America as been leading the world for the last 80 years. So let's get this thing over with and let’s move ahead.”

Correa sits on the House Judiciary Committee which will ultimately decide whether or not to recommend articles of impeachment. 

During the hearing, Yovanovitch refuted many of the conspiracies that revolved around her name at the time she was let go. 

Yovanovitch said there was a “smear campaign” that the president’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani led against her, saying in the hearing that “these events should concern everyone”. 

The former ambassador claims her term was abruptly ended because of the State Department’s “clearly questionable motives.” 

The 33-year Foreign Service officer was in Kiev to lead President Trump’s policy on Ukraine for weaponry and fighting corruption, but she said Giuliani’s alleged a parallel policy in Ukraine that started to trump her official policy.
