Christopher Anderson, a State Department foreign service officer, is testifying today in the House impeachment inquiry into President Trump.
“I was concerned by the call,” Vindman said, according to prepared remarks. “I did not think it was proper to demand that a foreign government investigate a U.S. citizen, and I was worried about the implications for the U.S. government’s support of Ukraine.”
The inquiry is looking into Trump’s call, in which he asked Zelensky for a “favor” — to investigate Democrats — that the Democrats say was a quid pro quo for military aid and could be an impeachable offense.With the administration directing staff not to appear, Vindman was the first current White House official to testify before the impeachment panels. He was issued a subpoena to appear.
