‘Profit Off The President’: White House Blasts Marie Yovanovitch Book Deal

Former Ukraine diplomat Marie Yovanovitch secured a book deal, the Associated Press reported Friday, leading to criticism from the White House.

Yovanovitch is writing a memoir that has yet to get a title and will be published through Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, according to the Associated Press. Yovanovitch played a central role in President Donald Trump’s impeachment proceedings, testifying in Congress that Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani led a “smear campaign” that led to her eventual firing.

White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham told the Daily Caller the book deal is “Yet another example of a civil servant trying to personally profit off the President. Lets not forget this is a woman the media painted as a victim, and the democrats hailed as a hero who was motivated solely by patriotism. Not even a month later and she has a book deal? It’s self-serving, and I venture to say her motives will not be questioned by anyone in the mainstream media.”
