The former ambassador testified during Trump's impeachment trial that she was abruptly recalled from her position in May, following a smear campaign.

The documents also included a letter from Giuliani to Zelensky, clarifying that he wanted to meet in private. The New York Times reported the meeting was intended to discuss the Bidens connection to Ukrainian energy company Burisma, but it was ultimately cancelled due to a public firestorm surrounding a trip to Ukraine.
