Friday Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman was escorted from the White House where he had served on the National Security Council. His twin brother, Lt. Col. Yevgeny Vindman, was also dismissed from the NSC. Alexander had testified against President Trump in the House impeachment proceedings. He had listened in on the President’s telephone call with Ukranian President Zelensky and testified that Trump had abused his office by withholding aid to the Ukraine until it announced investigations of his political opponents. Reportedly Alexander is believed to be the primary source of information for alleged whistleblower Eric Ciaramella. Although Yevgeny did not testify,...

This letter makes clear that the president and his team have marshaled the entire spectrum of the damning facts – including...
