Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called for Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, a key witness in the impeachment inquiry, to be given whistleblower protections.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., called for a key witness in the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump to be given the same protections as are afforded to whistleblowers.
Since the announcement of his testimony, Vindman "has been vilified by individuals in the media and elsewhere," Schumer wrote to Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy and Army chief of staff James McConville. Schumer, in a letter, asked the secretary of the Army and the chief of staff of the Army for a briefing to ensure that Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, the top Ukraine expert in the National Security Council, "and whistleblowers like him are afforded appropriate protections — both from retaliation and for [the] personal safety of him and his family."
"Although he has served our country for more than 20 years and is a recipient of the Purple Heart after being injured while serving in Iraq, he has been called a variety of derogatory terms and some have even gone so far as to call him a spy and question his loyalty to the United States," Schumer wrote."Yesterday's Never Trumper witness could find NO Quid Pro Quo in the Transcript of the phone call," Trump tweeted Wednesday morning.
