On Sunday, National Security Adviser Robert OBrien said Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who gave a bombshell testimony in the House impeachment investigation last month on President Donald Trumps Ukraine scheme, will be removed from his post at the White House National Security Council
...The national security adviser said Vindman, who currently serves as the councils Director for European Affairs, will be removed as a part of the White Houses streamlining efforts.
My understanding is hesthat Colonel Vindman is detailed from the Department of Defense, OBrien said. So everyone whos detailed at the NSC, people are going to start going back to their own departments and well bring in new folks.
When Brennan asked OBrien to confirm that the decision is not retaliation against Vindman, whom Trump has baselessly accused of being a Never Trumper, the national security advisers response was that he personally had never retaliated against anyone.
