Key impeachment witness Lt. Col Alexander Vindman is retiring from the US Army. His lawyer cites 'bullying, intimidation and retaliation' led by Trump.
Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, a key witness in President Donald Trump's impeachment inquiry, is retiring from the US Army after more than 21 years of military service because he determined that his future in the armed forces"will forever be limited" due to political retaliation by the President and his allies, his lawyer told CNN Wednesday.
Vindman has endured a"campaign of bullying, intimidation, and retaliation" spearheaded by the President following his testimony in the impeachment inquiry last year, according to his attorney, Amb. David Pressman.News of Vindman's retirement marks the culmination of a months-long saga dating back to his public testimony in November.
Ultimately, Vindman decided to retire from the military rather than attending the National War College, which was his next planned assignment, after speaking with senior Army officials who made clear that there were forces working against his advancement within the military. Specifically, Vindman was told by senior Army officials that he would no longer be deployable in his area of expertise, which includes Ukraine, the source familiar with the situation told CNN.
