The comments came days after the star impeachment witness was ousted from the White House.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday said the military will likely look at disciplinary action against Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, just days after the National Security Council official was ousted from the White House after giving damaging testimony during the House impeachment hearings.
Trump also said he wasn’t “happy” with Vindman and his twin brother Yevgeny, who was also recalled on Friday despite not being a witness in the president’s impeachment hearings. Trump, without providing evidence or specific examples, said Vindman reported “very inaccurate things” about the “perfect” call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
One of Vindman's lawyers, David Pressman, said last Friday that his ouster from the NSC was clear political retribution for his role in the impeachment inquiry."There is no question in the mind of any American why this man’s job is over, why this country now has one less soldier serving it at the White House," Pressman said in a statement shared with reporters.
