ABC News obtained a recording that “appears to capture President Donald Trump telling associates he wanted the then-U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch fired,” the outlet reported Friday.

“Get rid of her!” the voice, said to be of Trump, says in the video. “Get her out tomorrow. I don’t care. Get her out tomorrow. Take her out. Okay? Do it.”

The recording was made, per ABC’s sources, at a 2018 dinner at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C. that included as guests Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, Rudy Giuliani’s indicted pals caught up in the Ukraine scandal.

Trump has repeatedly claimed not to know Parnas, who in recent interviews has accused the president of ordering their actions in Ukraine.

The comment from Trump came after Giuliani’s associates told Trump that Yovanovitch was bad-mouthing him. Fruman is believed to have recorded the video, according to ABC.

“The biggest problem there, I think where we need to start is we gotta get rid of the ambassador,” Parnas reportedly tells Trump. “She’s basically walking around telling everybody ‘Wait, he’s gonna get impeached, just wait.” Yovanovitch was recalled from her position in April 2019.

"Take her out."

No, it's not weird or suspicious at all that Donald Trump, a president who runs his administration as an organized crime boss and had an underling stalking an American ambassador, chose to use the language of a mob hit.https://t.co/Wc4gVlDT7L

Giuliani and his associates waged a campaign to remove Yovanovitch from her post after the diplomat stymied their efforts to have Ukraine announce an investigation into Joe Biden and his family.

Twitter had some thoughts:

You don't tell a pair of mobbed-up thugs "take her out" because you want her fired. You're talking to them because you want her killed.

And low and behold, Parnas puts her under surveillance and offers to "take care" of her.

Donald Trump put a hit out on his own Ambassador. https://t.co/yXEiB1Py88

Never heard a boss say Take Her Out! She’s gonna go through some things! when firing someone.

If the recording of Trump saying "Take her out" simply means he wanted Yovanovitch fired, I should be able to wish someone would "take him out", right? I just want him removed from office…

Who among us that has been fired before, had their boss say, “Take her out.”#TakeHerOut is a hit job ordered by a mob boss. This is not a stretch to say Trump ordered a veiled assassination of a US Ambassador.

This, alone, is grounds for immediate Impeachment and removal. https://t.co/fPh6RM2MPF
