inquiry last year, U.S. Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, was escorted out of the White House Friday, his lawyer said.Earlier Friday, President"Well, I'm not happy with him," Trump said when asked by a reporter if he wanted Vindman, out of the White House."You think I'm supposed to be happy with him? I'm not.”
"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."LTC Vindman was asked to leave for telling the truth. His honor, his commitment to right, frightened the powerful. "In recent months, many entrusted with power in our political system have cowered out of fear. And, yet, a handful of men and women, not endowed with prestige or power, but equipped only with a sense of right borne out of years of quiet service to their country made different choices. They courageously chose to honor their duty with integrity, to trust the truth, and to put their faith in country ahead of fear. And they have paid a price" Pressman said.
