National Security Council (NSC) official Alexander Vindman showed up to testify Tuesday as part of the Democrats’ closed-door impeachment inquiry into President Trump in full military uniform.
This is despite not wearing one to work every day at the NSC, according to several sources.
Although Vindman is a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army, he is serving an assignment at the NSC as the director for European Affairs. According to sources at the NSC, Vindman does not wear his uniform to work at the NSC, where the standard dress is business wear.
One source said he donned the uniform “for show.” The source pointed out that Vindman was ironically wearing a presidential service badge on his uniform — as he testifies on how he went with his twin brother, a lawyer at the NSC, with concerns about Trump’s handling of Ukraine foreign policy and his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, investigating Joe Biden and his son for corruption.
Vindman’s opening statement leaked to the New York Times the night before his testimony showed he was concerned that Ukraine helping investigate Biden would jeopardize bipartisan support for Ukraine.
According to the Times, Vindman, who was born in Ukraine and is fluent in Ukrainian and Russia, may have served as an informal adviser to Ukrainian officials looking for advice on how to deal with Rudy Giuliani’s efforts to investigate corruption by Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden.

Don’t care if he is dressed like Uncle Sam, the man has an axe to grind and it shows.
It’s a show trial. Gotta put on a good show.
Seems this joker has violated the UCMJ and federal laws.
Where is the prosecution??
‘His testimony showed he was a concerned that Ukraine helping investigate Biden might jeopardize the bi-partisan support for Ukraine’
So, his concern was that the DEMS would stop supporting Ukraine??? How is that in any way connected to Trump??
If we had a competent News Media, there wouldn’t be ANY fake impeachment inquiry, the News Media would have already printed the truth and it would have been relegated to the dustbin of history/
EXACTLY!!
He was worried that a Biden investigation might jeopardize support FOR UKRAINE!! He elevated his loyalty to Ukraine above any loyalty he had for the USA!! Why isn’t he called a traitor??
Yeah I was about to say the same thing. He’s not a diplomat; he has no authority to “consult” or “advise” foreign officials.
He just cut short his military career for a few minutes of fame. Hope he loses his commission for insubordination.
