Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman will be reassigned to a role at the Pentagon and leave his job at the White House, according to reports.
The White House is reportedly preparing to remove a national security official who testified about his knowledge of a July call with the Ukrainian president that set off the recently concluded impeachment trial of President Donald Trump, who, apparently emboldened by his acquittal, is beginning to punish those he perceives as enemies.
Vindman currently works in the White House, and his term on the NSC was set to end in July. He had already told senior officers that he planned to leave his posting early, The Washington Post reported, but Trump reportedly wanted to make him a target for his fury.
“Do not worry, I will be fine for telling the truth,” Vindman told his father during his remarks in November.
