Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman, who provided damning impeachment evidence against President Donald Trump, retired from the USon Wednesday after being subjected to a campaign of"bullying, intimidation and retaliation," his attorney said.
Vindman is"retiring today after it has been made clear that his future within the institution he has dutifully served will forever be limited," Pressman said. "Through a campaign of bullying, intimidation, and retaliation, the president of the United States attempted to force LTC Vindman to choose: Between adhering to the law or pleasing a President. Between honouring his oath or protecting his career.
She said she would continue to block Senate confirmation of 1,123 senior US Armed Forces promotions until Esper could give a"transparent accounting" of the situation. Vindman was present during the July 25, 2019 phone call during which Trump asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to open an investigation into Biden.
Vindman's twin brother, a lawyer on the National Security Council, was not called to publicly testify but was also forced out of his White House position in February.
