The White House is weighing a plan to dismiss Alexander Vindman from the National Security Council after he testified in President Donald Trumps impeachment inquiry, preparing to position the move as part of a broader effort to shrink the foreign policy bureaucracy, two people familiar with the matter said.
The White House intends to portray any house-cleaning as part of a downsizing of the NSC staff, not retaliation, according to the people.
Some of the officials being targeted for removal from the NSC would be reassigned because theyre perceived as being disloyal to the president, three people familiar with the matter said on condition of anonymity owing to the sensitivity of personnel moves.
Senior officials were informed on Thursday that some staff would be leaving the White House, the people added. The moves have been in the works since at least last week and could come as soon as Friday.
Vindman has not been told of any change in his status, according to a person close to his legal team, and plans to show up for work until told otherwise. His twin, Yevgeny Vindman, also remains at the NSC and is not aware of any change in his status, that person added.

A week to remember. One for the history books. Suicide weekend?
Get rid if the slimeball
Well, he did mention the Vindman brothers during his talk yesterday - along with s few others by name...he seemed to be presaging some events for us to watch for.
Don't do that. He could put, he could put strychnine in the guacamole.
You made me have a laugh outburst that scared my cat!! Haha!
Didn’t this LTC Alexander Vindman offered to be defense secretary in Ukraine? Both twin brothers just fired, so now they can accept the offered Ukrainian government positions, defense secretary and deputy defense secretary!
Then they can plot to get Zelensky impeached.
