Three Democrat committee and sub-committee chairs have called on the Defense Department inspector general to probe claims of retaliation against Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who testified against President Donald Trump during his impeachment.

House Oversight Committee Chair Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.), House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), and Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.), chairman of the Oversight Committee’s subcommittee on National Security, wrote a letter (pdf) to Pentagon acting Inspector General Sean O’Donnell on Tuesday, calling on him to investigate alleged actions by administration officials “to create a retaliatory work environment” for the now-retired Vindman.
