Barnicle: The “destruction” of the State Department

Listen in on this Morning Joe conversation with Mika Brzezinski, Elise Jordan, John Heilemann and Mike Barnicle about the “destruction” of the Department of State in the era of President Donald Trump, after transcripts revealed that former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch told House investigators that she felt shocked and threatened when she learned what President Trump had said about her on a July 25 phone call with Ukraine’s president. “It’s hard to believe, but there might be a larger story than the threats to Ambassador Yovanovitch—and it would be the slow destruction of the State Department as evidenced here in the release of these transcripts,” says Barnicle. “We’re seeing this play out in real time now with the destruction of a single department, the State Department, that is key to the United States role in the world.” Join the conversation here.
