[quote=Anonymous]From the Wall Street Journal re: Robert Livingston:

[quote]In June 2018, Justice Department records show, Mr. Livingston registered to represent a firm linked to Yulia Tymoshenko—the former Ukrainian prime minister who at the time was running for president against Volodymyr Zelensky, the current president—and Mr. Poroshenko. Over the following months, Mr. Livingston contacted dozens of government officials in an effort to arrange meetings for Ms. Tymoshenko in Washington, among them Messrs. Trump, Bolton and Volker as well as Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, according to public records.

[b]Ms. Tymoshenko met with Messrs. Volker and Anderson in December 2018, accompanied by Mr. Livingston, the records show. The following day, another lobbyist at Mr. Livingston’s firm introduced her to Mr. Giuliani. They discussed, among other matters, “the provision of US assistance to Ukraine,” according to her website.[/b]

It couldn’t be determined if Mr. Livingston was pushing for the ambassador’s removal on Ms. Tymoshenko’s behalf. Ms. Yovanovitch, during her tenure, had fraught relations with some senior Ukrainian officials, who viewed her as aligned with Mr. Poroshenko. When Ms. Tymoshenko came in third in the presidential election this spring, she accused Mr. Poroshenko of cheating.[/quote][/quote]
