Vindman describes 'campaign of bullying, intimidation and retaliation' by Trump, allies in op-ed

 

Former National Security Council (NSC) member Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman said that his retirement in July was due to “a campaign of bullying, intimidation and retaliation by President Trump and his allies” that hampered the progression of his military career.

 

“This experience has been painful, but I am not alone in this ignominious fate,” Vindman wrote in a Washington Post op-ed published Saturday.

 

“The circumstances of my departure might have been more public, yet they are little different from those of dozens of other lifelong public servants who have left this administration with their integrity intact but their careers irreparably harmed,” he continued.

 

Vindman announced last month that he would be retiring from the military, after his attorney said "it has been made clear that his future within the institution he has dutifully served will forever be limited," in a statement.

 

Last year, Vindman testified before the House Intelligence Committee as part of the House impeachment inquiry into Trump's dealings with Ukraine.
