ANNOUNCER: This is CNN breaking news.</s>BALDWIN: Top of the hour. You're watching CNN. I'm Brooke Baldwin. Go big or go home -- five words you may not expect to hear from top U.S. diplomats. Especially when one of those is being attacked by people close to the president of the United States. But that is exactly what former Ukraine Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch says she was told to do, to fight back against the criticisms by Gordon Sondland, the E.U. ambassador, who is also a Trump inaugural donor. He advised Yovanovitch to tweet her praise and support of President Trump. There was one thing, Yovanovitch noted, as a career foreign service officer, it was her job to remain apolitical. That's a piece of what we're learning today from these newly released transcripts today in Yovanovitch's testimony to Congress. Testimony where she claimed Rudy Giuliani's efforts in Ukraine, quote, "cut the ground out from underneath her and the embassy." House Democrats also released transcripts from Mike McKinley, the former top adviser to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. In them, McKinley said he was, in his word, "disturbed" that foreign governments were being asked by the Trump White House to dig up dirt on the president's political opponents. Evan Perez, we're back with you at the top of the hour. What more can you tell me about the former ambassador's deposition?</s>EVAN PEREZ, CNN JUSTICE REPORTER: Brooke, the importance of Marie Yovanovitch, if there was a crime committed in any of this, she is one of the key witnesses. She is at the center of it.
