Nancy Pelosi weighed in on Trump's removal of impeachment witness Alexander Vindman, which she called a "shameless loss for American security."
WASHINGTON — Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi slammed President Donald Trump for the abrupt removal of Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who served on the National Security Council and provided damning testimony against the president during the impeachment inquiry.
Both Vindman and Sondland provided key testimony in the House impeachment inquiry into Trump's alleged pressuring of the Ukraine government to open investigations into domestic political rivals and leveraging of military aid money to do so. The firings came just days after the president was acquitted of impeachment charges by the Republican-majority Senate.
Vindman said during his hearing that it was"inappropriate" for the president to make such a request of Ukraine's president, and revealed he spoke of his concerns to supervisors after listening in on the now infamous July 25, 2019 phone call between Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky. Fake News @CNN & MSDNC keep talking about “Lt. Col.” Vindman as though I should think only how wonderful he was. Actually, I don’t know him, never spoke to him, or met him but, he was very insubordinate, reported contents of my “perfect” calls incorrectly, &...Vindman's attorney David Pressman said Trump made “obviously false statements” in his tweets, and added that his client will continue his career in the military.
President Trump is exacting his retribution, removing those who complied with subpoenas, came forward, and testified about his misconduct.Precisely the kind of conduct Congressional Republicans enabled.Pelosi said that Trump's"vindictiveness" caused Republican senators who voted for his acquittal to be"accomplices to his cover-up.
