Retired Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who served on the National Security Council and emerged as a star witness against then-President Donald Trump during the 2019 Ukraine impeachment, is suing Donald Trump Jr., Rudy Giuliani and former Trump White House staffers, alleging they conspired against him.
Vindman, in a new lawsuit filed in DC District Court, said Trump's family, his lawyers, right-wing media and others in the White House tried to intimidate and retaliate against him because he was willing to testify against the President, calling out Trump's entreaties of Ukraine for his personal political gain.
He bluntly called the efforts to intimidate him obstruction. And the lawsuit, articulating over 73 pages Vindman's saga in Trump's first impeachment, aims to capture the plight whistleblowers face after standing up to a powerful political machine.
CNN has reached out to those named in the lawsuit for comment. Vindman, the former director of European Affairs at the US National Security Council, seeks an unspecified amount in damages, saying his complaint aims for "long-overdue accountability." Also named in his suit are former White House deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino and Julia Hahn, a former Breitbart editor who worked in the Trump White House.
The lawsuit alleges that former President Trump, who is not named as a defendant, and his allies "engaged in an intentional, concerted campaign of unlawful intimidation and retaliation" against Vindman "to prevent him from and then punish him for testifying truthfully before Congress during impeachment proceedings against President Trump."
"The coordination and agreement on purpose and strategy is exactly what made this unlawful campaign against Lt. Col. Vindman so damaging," Vindman's lawsuit adds.

Ukraine. The gift that just keeps giving.
Another reservation for a helicopter ride.
Good luck with that Mr Fathead 🤪
Vindman should put down the crack pipe.
This guy should have been fired on the spot and charged with sabotage.
they should give him a rifle and send him to defend Ukraine. After all, Ukraine wanted him to be their defense minister at one time.
So this is how the Rats and Goebbels media get to bring up Trump’s impeachment again and again going into 2022.
This treasonous turd knows his time is up, that he will be exposed soon. (the manufactured coup in the Ukraine in 2014)
Wait. He’s accusing a politician of using his political position for political gain? Isn’t that the definition of the job? Lol.
Eff this REMF. Too bad no one ever fragged this pogue.
I hope Vindman has already paid his attorney in advance. He won’t collect a penny from this bogus accusation. Vindman should also pay for the other side’s legal bills as well.
Says the conspirator.
The little baby.
O say can you see...
Vindman is a real putz.
lol ... we all miss him ...
That poor little banty rooster! So now it’s illegal to push back against what you believe are lies? It’s a crime to organize against YOUR organized lies? There seems to be a scheme afoot to criminalize all conservative political action as a form of illegal conspiracy. What a smelly little animal Vindman is.
Discovery in that case should be fun.
Is Alexander Vindman Tweedledum or Tweedledee?
