Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, a key witness in President Donald Trump’s impeachment inquiry who testified about the president’s July 25 phone call with Ukraine’s president, was fired by the White House on Friday, according to his attorney.
Vindman, a National Security Council (NSC) staffer who is considered an expert on Ukrainian affairs, “was escorted out of the White House where he has dutifully served his country,” said lawyer David Pressman in a strongly-worded statement.
