On Friday, 22 in March, Laura Ingraham from Fox News unveiled a letter from former Congressman Pete Seschins, which he sent to US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo back in May 2018. In it, the politician requested that Jovanovic be removed from office.

“I ask that you consider removing her and find a replacement as soon as possible,” Sessions concluded his message.

A source close to the White House, who is familiar with this issue, told The Daily Wire: “President Trump has been trying to remove the one appointed by Obama after more than a year in Ukraine. He several times called for her removal, but so far to no avail. ”

The son of US President Donald Trump Jr. has published a Daily Wire article on his Twitter microblog about the scandal surrounding the ambassador to Ukraine, stating that there should be as few people as ambassadors.

Calls for the removal of Yovanovych intensified after last week, the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Yuriy Lutsenko said in an interview with The Hill that started an investigation with respect to members of the country's law enforcement agencies as to whether leak of financial reports of the Party of Regions in 2016, about deals with the then head of Trump's campaign headquarters, Paul Manafort, deliberate, and whether Ukrainian law enforcement agencies were trying to influence the US presidential campaign in this way in favor of Hillary Clinton.

“According to a member of the Ukrainian parliament, he received a court decision that an official of NABU (National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine) committed illegal interference in the American election campaign,” Lutsenko said. He explained that the head of NABU, Artem Sytnik, allegedly deliberately “leaked” information compromising Manafort to the press in order to help the Clinton campaign, and the investigation has an audio recording in which a person with a voice similar to Sytnik admits to this.

The Politico edition wrote about this story back in January, 2017, in an article entitled: “The efforts of Ukraine to sabotage Trump had the opposite effect.”

The article quoting sources said: “Ukrainian officials tried to help Hillary Clinton and undermine Trump’s support by publicly questioning his suitability for work. They also distributed documents indicating that Trump's main assistant was involved in corruption, and offered to investigate this issue only in order to stop the investigation after the elections. In addition, they helped Clinton’s allies obtain compromising information about Trump and his advisors. The Ukrainian-American functionary, who consulted the National Committee of the US Democratic Party, met with senior officials at the Ukrainian embassy in Washington to publicize the connection between Trump, the head of his headquarters, Paul Manafort and Russia. ”

In an interview with The Hill, Lutsenko also made accusations against Jovanovic. The Prosecutor General of Ukraine stated that during the first meeting with him, Jovanovic provided him with a list of persons whom he should not have prosecuted as part of the investigative actions of the Ukrainian Prosecutor General’s Office.

“Unfortunately, at the first meeting, the US ambassador in Kiev gave me a list of people we should not have prosecuted,” said Lutsenko, who took over as prosecutor general in 2016.

“But this is unacceptable. No one in this country - neither our president, nor our parliament, nor our ambassador - can stop me from criminally prosecuting a person who committed a crime,” Lutsenko said.
