Chuck Schumer’s letters to 74 inspectors general comes after Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman was removed from his position at the White House on Friday, along with his twin, Lt. Col. Yevgeny Vindman
In addition to asking Fine to investigate all acts of retaliation against those who reported presidential misconduct, Schumer also requested that the acting inspector general report the last time that personnel at the Defense Department were informed of their rights as whistleblowers.
Alexander Vindman’s firing came two days after the Senate acquitted the president on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, after Trump withheld military aid to Ukraine and requested during a telephone call that the country’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, investigate his political rivals.
Vindman, a Purple Heart recipient, told House investigators in October that Trump’s request undermined national security. He also considered the call with Zelensky inappropriate and flagged it for a top White House lawyer. Since his testimony, Vindman has come under repeated attacks from the president’s allies. Some Republicans, however, have come to his defense, citing his military service to the country.
