Robert Hyde, the former landscaper-turned-congressional candidate at the center of a new Ukraine “scandal” about supposed surveillance of former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, posted a video message Friday addressing the bizarre WhatsApp messages that inspired Democrats to demand new investigations and prompted Ukraine to announce it was officially looking into the matter.
On Tuesday evening, House Democrats heading up the impeachment effort released new materials related to Ukraine that they say require “full investigation” and additional witnesses to be called for the impeachment trial in the Senate. Among the evidence is a series of typo-riddled, sometimes nonsensical WhatsApp messages sent in March 2019 by Hyde to Lev Parnas. Parnas is an ex-associate of Rudy Giuliani who has been indicted for attempting to funnel foreign money to Republicans and has been cooperating with the Democrat-led impeachment committee.
