Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace found the testimony of ousted Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch very compelling today.
“If you’re not moved by — and we’ll have to wait and see what happens in cross examination — but if you are not moved by Marie Yovanovitch today then you don’t have a pulse.”
Chris Wallace on Yovanovitch's testimony: "We went into the details of what the smear campaign that came from Rudy Giuliani and some of his cohorts and repeated in some outlets in right-wing media"

Wallace went on to paint Yovanovitch as a sympathetic figure.
“This is a woman who served in 7 posts for presidents in both parties over more than 30 years. Hardship posts, places like Somalia, like Tashkent, and she tells the story of being a leading fighter against corruption in Ukraine,” Wallace told viewers.
He said bureaucrats in the State Department were worried about Yovanovitch’s security and impending attacks by President Trump, Rudy Giuliani “and some of his cohorts.”
Wallace noted Yovanovitch felt Trump’s attacks today were “quite intimidating,” and he said it “does raise possibility of witness intimidation and witness tampering as a new charge here.”
The fired ambassador’s testimony will continue shortly.
