Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman expects to serve out the remainder of his time on the National Security Council, according to his attorney.<\/p>\n
Multiple reports Sunday claimed Vindman, who gave sworn testimony for the House impeachment effort against President Trump, would be\u00a0removed<\/a>\u00a0from the National Security Council.<\/p>\n These reports hinged on a\u00a0Face the Nation<\/i>\u00a0interview on CBS in which national security adviser Robert O’Brien was asked if Vindman would remain on the National Security Council after testifying against the president. O’Brien\u00a0said<\/a>, “Everyone who’s detailed at the NSC, people are going … back to their own departments, and we’ll bring in new folks.”<\/p>\n Afterward, the Twitter account for\u00a0Face the Nation<\/i>\u00a0blared<\/a>, “VINDMAN OUT AT NSC: After testifying on the Hill, NSA O’Brien says Alexander Vindman will be removed from the National Security Council.” Other outlets followed suit with similar reports, and\u00a0verified<\/a>\u00a0Twitter<\/a>\u00a0users<\/a>\u00a0with<\/a>\u00a0hundreds of thousands of followers announced that Vindman had been fired.<\/p>\n
