The National Security Council official offered a first-hand account of events.
Fox News host Sean Hannity on Tuesday claimed that Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman's impeachment inquiry testimony is"all hearsay" that will not be"admissible" during a segment on Premiere Radio Networks'"I honestly find this to be the biggest, most colossal waste of time, and I watch the media breathlessly acting like it's something when I see nothing, Gregg," Hannity told Fox News commentator Gregg Jarrett."There's nothing here.
"Vindman thought that he's above the Secretary of State, above the president, he's some super-special expert to which all, including Trump, should defer," Jarrett said, before accusing Vindman of"self-puffery." The content of Vindman's testimony was also dismissed by the pair, with Hannity claiming that he was both unimportant and engaging in"hearsay." Vindman asserts he was directly on the line during the phone call between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.Fox News host Sean Hannity, pictured with President Donald Trump at a September 20, 2018"Make America Great Again" rally in Las Vegas, Nevada.
In his opening statement, Vindman indicated that his father was concerned about him testifying at the hearing due to fears over possible reprisals. When Democratic congressman Sean Maloney asked him how he overcame the fears, Vindman suggested he was testifying because he believed it was morally the"right" decision to make.
"Congressman, because this is America. This is the country I have served and defended, that all of my brothers have served. And here, right matters," he said, prompting loud applause from spectators in the room.
