At Friday’s impeachment inquiry, former Ukraine ambassador Marie Yovanovitch testified before Congress that she was removed from her job due to pressure from President Donald Trump.

A 33-year employee of the foreign service, Yovanovitch painted a picture of her departure as the result of “foreign and private interests … [who] were able to successfully conduct a campaign of disinformation against a sitting ambassador, using unofficial back channels,” she said in her prepared testimony before the House Intelligence Committee. “These events should concern everyone in this room.”

While she testified, Trump was tweeting attacks on her record at the State Department, which she described as “very intimidating.” At the conclusion of Yovanovitch’s testimony, she left the hearing room to applause.

That wouldn’t be the final standing ovation she would receive that weekend.

According to video posted on social media, when Yovanovitch entered Georgetown’s Blues Alley for an Arturo Sandoval show on Sunday evening, other attendees rose to their feet and cheered. People can be overheard saying things like “Thank you so much” and “We’re so grateful” to her as she walks by.

After she was removed as the ambassador to Ukraine, Yovanovitch returned to D.C., according to the New York Times. She currently works for Georgetown University’s Institute for the Study of Diplomacy as a State Department fellow.

Blues Alley was not able to provide anyone who could comment by press time. The Georgetown spot is no stranger to cameos from folks who make news on Capitol Hill. Last month, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine, a Democrat, lent his harmonica and vocals to a Jimi Hendrix tribute there.
