Trump himself is clearly not satisfied with only one article of impeachment.

During Friday's pubic impeachment hearing that featured Yovanovitch's testimony, Trump, who wasn't present at the hearing, assailed the witness, typing up a punitive tweet about Yovanovitch.

"Everywhere Marie Yovanovitch Marie YovanovitchGrand jury adds additional counts against Giuliani associates Lev Parnas and and Igor Fruman Strzok: Trump behaving like an authoritarian Powell backs Biden at convention as Democrats rip Trump on security MORE went turned bad," he tweeted, adding that "It is a U.S. President’s absolute right to appoint ambassadors," one of the main points GOP lawmakers have been driving home during the impeachment proceedings.

Everywhere Marie Yovanovitch went turned bad. She started off in Somalia, how did that go? Then fast forward to Ukraine, where the new Ukrainian President spoke unfavorably about her in my second phone call with him. It is a U.S. President’s absolute right to appoint ambassadors. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 15, 2019

However, Trump's tweet has been seen by many as witness intimidation, which can be construed as obstruction of justice, both of which are illegal.

Yovanovitch was the third person to testify publicly before the House Intelligence Committee in its inquiry; State Department officials William Taylor and George Kent testified on Wednesday.
