Lev Parnas told Rachel Maddow that the only reason former U.S. ambassador Marie Yovanovitch was removed from office was that she stood in the way of the Biden investigation. Parnas also said that Robert Hyde, suspected of keeping tabs on Yovanovitch's location, was 'drunk all the time.'
Former Rudy Giuliani business associate Lev Parnas told MSNBC'S Rachel Maddow Wednesday night that former Ukraine Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch was removed from her position because she was in the way of an investigation into Joe and Hunter Biden, which was started at the direct behest of President Donald Trump.Helping Parnas monitor Yovanovitch's movements was Republican Robert Hyde, a Trump supporter who is currently running for Congress in Connecticut.
"Robert Hyde was somebody who—I don't want to say, 'hang around.' He didn't know the president and he didn't know Rudy Giuliani, but he knew [political consultant] Roger Stone. He knew all these—it was like a breeding ground at the Trump Hotel. Every event would be there so everybody would hang out there afterwards. Basically, you would see all the same people every day. All the congressmen that supported the president would be there, nobody else.
Lev Parnas told Rachel Maddow in a Wednesday interview that former U.S. ambassador Marie Yovanovitch stood in the way of the Trump administration's investigation into the Bidens' activity in the Ukraine."[Hyde] was a fixture on site," Parnas continued."He was always there. But he was always drunk.""I think he was either drunk or he was trying to make himself bigger than he was," Parnas said."I didn't take him seriously.
"I didn't respond for a long time and I didn't want him to get rowdy if I saw him next time, so I would just amuse him until, you see, eventually I cut him off," Parnas explained.
