Trump Officials Targeted Army Official Yevgeny Vindman for Whistleblower Retaliation: Inspector General Report – By Marisa Sarnoff (Law and Crime) / May 18, 2022
A top-ranking Army official who was removed from his position at the National Security Council after raising whistleblower concerns about officials in Donald Trump’s administration—and the former president himself—was the subject of wrongful retaliation, a Defense Department report has concluded.
The Inspector General for the Department of Defense on Wednesday released the results of its investigation into the whistleblower reprisal complaint that Col. Yevgeny Vindman filed almost two years ago.
Vindman, whose identical twin brother is Alexander Vindman, filed his complaint in August of 2020, months after being fired from the NSC.
Vindman has since been promoted to colonel via a March 2021 move by Joe Biden’s administration.
