Lutsenko alleged in the interview that Ukrainian officials helped Hillary Clinton in 2016 by leaking damaging information about former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort and that Yovanovitch gave him a “do-not-prosecute” list and cooperated with Clinton to undermine Trump. Lutsenko eventually retracted the claim against Yovanovitch.

False. Lutsenko never retracted the claim. Here is his statement:

At no time since our interview have I ever retracted the statement I made about the U.S. ambassador providing me a list of names of people and organizations she did not want my office to prosecute.

Lutsenko says Yovanovich's request was an intrusion on Ukraine's sovereign authority. He's correct. It's a violation of the Geneva Convention. I'm disappointed that Trump merely fired Yovanovich. He should have had her arrested.

Even the NY Times confirmed that Lutsenko did not retract his claim:

In an interview with The New York Times last month, Mr. Lutsenko insisted that the ambassador, Marie Yovanovitch, had in fact asked him not to target certain politicians and activists who worked with the embassy on its anti-corruption efforts.
