More federal employees could be dismissed in the coming days following the ousters of Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman and Ambassador Gordon Sondland, who were key impeachment witnesses, said White House counsel Kellyanne Conway on Monday.
When asked by “Fox & Friends” anchors about whether more officials will be dismissed, Conway said it was “maybe” part of the White House’s plans. She then attempted to defend the removal of Vindman, a former Ukraine expert at National Security Council (NSC) who testified last year against President Donald Trump, after Democrats and Vindman’s lawyer accused the president of carrying out his revenge. His brother, Yevgeny Vindman, a senior NSC lawyer, was also dismissed Friday.
