• A partial transcript of the testimony of Marie Yovanovitch, the former US ambassador to Ukraine, shows that President Donald Trump and his allies' efforts to intimidate and bully her went much farther than previously known.
• Yovanovitch testified that she felt threatened by Trump's comments about her during a July 25 phone call with Ukraine's president.
• She also said Ukrainian officials told her that a top Ukrainian ally of Rudy Giuliani was looking to "hurt" her "in the US."
• Ukraine's minister of the interior, Arsen Avakov, told Yovanovitch he was "very concerned" about Giuliani and that she needed to watch her back.

Lawmakers released a partial transcript of her closed-door hearing on Monday. The public was already aware of the broad outlines of Yovanovitch's testimony based on her opening statement. But the transcript released this week shows that the effort by Trump and his lawyer Rudy Giuliani to intimidate and bully her went much farther than previously known.
