White House counselor Kellyanne Conway hinted that additional officials could be forced out of their roles following the ousters last week of Vindman and Sondland — both high-profile witnesses in the impeachment investigation of President Trump
White House counselor Kellyanne Conway on Monday hinted that additional officials could be forced out of their roles following the ousters last week of Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman and Ambassador Gordon Sondland — both high-profile witnesses in the impeachment investigation of President Donald Trump.
“They are working at the Army, where they were. They were detailed to the NSC. This is typical,” Conway said. “I’ve had detailees on my small staff. This is very typical in a White House to have a detailee for a temporary period of time who then returns to what their full-time job is.” As for Sondland, the former U.S. envoy to the European Union, Conway said “it was nice of the president to give him that post in the first place,” and described him as a reluctant Trump supporter. The president on Friday ordered Sondland’s recall “effective immediately,” the ambassador noted in a statement that was released just hours after Vindman’s exit.
