Three House committees conducting an impeachment inquiry are scheduled Friday to depose ex-U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie L. Yovanovitch, who was relieved of her duties by President Trump after reportedly badmouthing him while on the job.

Yovanovitch is expected to appear for the closed-door hearing, although it is also possible the Trump administration could block her testimony.

Republicans anticipate she’ll be critical of the president.

Yovanovitch is a key figure in the impeachment investigation. Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, accused her of playing a role in blocking a Ukraine inquiry into former Vice President Joe Biden and urged Trump to recall her.
