I can't find where anyone pointed this out as yet. If it has been brought up already, my apologies. Trump tweeted this at the start of her testimony today. Schiff read the tweet to the ambassador, and many are saying it constitutes witness intimidation in real time by Trump:
The thread is worth a read. Hard to find any Trump lovers replying.

The ambassador's reply:
"I don't think I have such powers, not in Mogadishu, Somalia and not in other places. I actually think that where I've served over the years, I and others have demonstrably made things better for the U.S. as well as for the countries that I've served in.
"Ukraine, for example, where there are huge challenges, including, you know, the issue that we are discussing today, of corruption, huge challenges. But they've made a lot of progress since 2014, including in the years that I was there.... The Ukrainian people get the most credit for that. But a part of that credit goes to the work of the United States and to me as the ambassador in Ukraine."
