ABC News asked Schumer for his reaction to the recording at a news conference he held shortly before Friday’s Senate impeachment trial session.

“I haven’t seen that, so I wouldn’t comment on that yet, but I can say the granularity of the description of the despicable treatment of this prized, wonderful, public servant, Ambassador Yovanovitch, I think stuck in people’s minds again.” Schumer said.

Schumer added to his earlier statement after the reporting was confirmed.

“A lifelong public servant, a woman who dedicated her life to this country, and because she’s standing for truth and won’t let him break the law, he — he is vicious to her,” Schumer said. “No president should be like that, regardless of anything having to do with impeachment.”

He added, “No president should be like that and treat people that way, but he has done it time and time again.”
