Donald Trump said on Tuesday the military may consider disciplining Alexander Vindman, the former White House National Security Council official who testified in Trump’s impeachment trial.
Vindman, an army lieutenant colonel who provided some of the most damaging testimony during the House impeachment inquiry into Trump’s dealings with Ukraine, was removed from his White House job last week.
“We sent him on his way to a much different location and the military can handle him any way they want,” Trump said.
Asked if he was suggesting that Vindman face disciplinary action, Trump said that would be up to the military.
“If you look at what happened … they’re going to certainly, I would imagine, take a look at that,” Trump said.
